There's this passage from Infinite Jest I'm trying

I'm tight about this because I just finished the book for the first time a few days ago and don't have my copy on me. I vaguely recall what you're referring to but the only thing that's coming to mind is the passage about anhedonia, which I'm assuming isn't what you're talking about since that's not Spanish and doesn't specifically refer to addiction.

I'll try to find it when I go home later. Anyway, general discussion: I was 400 pages in when I made peace with the fact that I'll have to (and will) read the book a second time, which I think I'll enjoy more than reading it the first time. I missed everything having to do with how the actual plot ties together, but still enjoyed it. How many times have you read it, OP? Tell me your story.

I think you're talking about tecato gusano, which is latin. Pg 200, according to the glossary.
