Gentlemen!
Anyone else identify with 'being overly conscious as a sickness'? This book is like therapy for anyone whose inner monologue cant stop thinking, analyzing (and especially) worrying.
Great book. If you REALLY want to feel
> overly conscious
Read Good old Neon

Boy, you are in for a fucking ride. Good Old Neon is one of DFW's most acclaimed works, imo, and for a very good reason. It's basically his suicide note.

I identified way more with the whole "acting irrationally and againt oneself's interests as a way to be free" schtick.
I'm very excited to start reading this book. After exams I'm diving right into it. I just finished reading Crime and Punishment and fell in love with Dostoevsky.
