infinite jest

I also read IJ when a raw raw pleb not that I'm still not to a certain degree. but one day I decided to check it out again and was immediately disgusted by how bloated and egotistical the work was, like why would I care what these pubescent boys were doing in the locker room? BUt then I kept reading and about ten pages later I again realized how deft his observations were and how skilled he was at connecting so many things in succession without seeming superfluous. I also started to see many references that I previously missed, especially pertaining to his many nods and jabs at continental philosophy and postmodern literature. I recommend checking it out again, the only problem is that it is quite the time investment but I do believe it was meant to be read twice
