I want to start reading more books, but I just keep re-reading Infinite Jest. How much of a problem is this?

It's not a problem if you enjoy it. Though you should probably read something else, or you'll continue to be the type of person who unironically thinks DFW is the greatest author of all time despite having never read anything else.

Yyou're in serious trouble, very serious trouble, and you know it, finally, deadly serious trouble, because this Infinite JEst you thought was your one true friend, that you gave up all for, gladly, that for so long gave you relief from the pain of the Losses your love of that relief caused, your mother and lover and god and compadre, has finally removed its smily-face mask to reveal centerless eyes and a ravening maw, and canines down to here, it's the Face In The Floor, the grinning root-white face of your worst nightmares, and the face is your own face in the mirror, now, it's you, the Infinite Jest has devoured or replaced and become you, and the puke-, drool- and Infinite Jest-crusted T-shirt you've both worn for weeks now gets torn off and you stand there looking and in the root-white chest where your heart (given away to It) should be beating, in its exposed chest's center and centerless eyes is just a lightless hole, more teeth, and a beckoning taloned hand dangling something irresistible, and now you see you've been had, screwed royal, stripped and fucked and tossed to the side like some stuffed toy to lie for all time in the posture you land in. You see now that It's your enemy and your worst personal nightmare and the trouble It's gotten you into is undeniable and you still can't stop. Reading the Infinite Jest now is like attending Black Mass but you still can't stop, even though the Infinite Jest no longer gets you high. You are, as they say, Finished. You cannot get drunk and you cannot get sober; you cannot get high and you cannot get straight. You are behind bars; you are in a cage and can see only bars in every direction. You are in the kind of a hell of a mess that either ends lives or turns them around.

I get the joke.

>>9862826
pretty good. I would have said comme on dit rather than as they say, however.

>>9862803
sounds like an infinite jest

#ugh

People on /lit/ don't seem to understand that Infinite Jest isn't a meme because of its content, rather that it's done by DFW.
>>
>>9862993
Why are you replying to me, kid? I understand fully why IJ and DFW is a meme. I've watched his interviews. And you're neglecting that IJ in a vacuum is very meme worthy
Anyways, I don't think you "get" the joke that OP is making, which reflects poorly on you considering it's pretty obvious.
