It has words in it. If you read them, you get a sort of story in your head. Very fun, you should try it one day, OP

Pic related, my actual captcha for this post. It's funny, because I'm being douchey

I will never not laugh at the greatly deserved ridicule of this hack fraud. Why bother reading someone who couldn't even live with himself? The only sincere moment in the life of David Foster Wallace was when he kicked away the chair. The rest of his life was a lie, the New "Sincerity" was a joke whose punchline was the creaking of a leather belt around the rafter.

His literary career was a menagerie of self help lies told to keep his depression at bay - the audience pussy and drugs were the ghosts at that feast of hypocrisy. The depression was warranted because behind all the gimmicks and the self awareness and the bandannas was no discernible talent.

No. That is the worst chapter in the history of everything. I have nightmares about that chapter.

Speaking about book nightmares, last night in my dream I was reading this really interesting casual prose science fiction book. I read a chapter to see if I would like it. It seemed pretty cool. I checked to see how many pages it was to know if it would interfere with other books I'm reading. 5700 pages! WTF!

Even worse my subconscious was saying" yeah maybe someday I'll read it. Just to see if I can."

Enjoy the plot and prose, and take it slow. I wish I had taken more time to digest it properly. Also, keep a dictionary close by. Use a separate bookmark for footnotes, and make sure you pay attention to the dates that the events occur on!

Challenge mode: analyze it in comparison to Hamlet.

It's a good book! Too bad it's currently so fashionable to hate on DFW. I hope you enjoy it.
