infinite jest

[boon]

well worth the effort and it is an effort.

I have been reading it for about three years and am about a third of the way through. I hope I finish it before I die.

It's great, though. Fantastic.

I kind of know what people must have felt like when Remberance of Things Past came out.

read Remembrance over about a 7 month period a few years ago. had more time back then though.

also read gravity's rainbow a few years ago after several aborted efforts. glad i did and may even read it again someday.

Jest will take me several months, but i started.

Gravity's Rainbow is an excellent comparison.

I actually just finished it this weekend. It's a wonderful book but it is certainly an effort.
