New Year's Resolution: Infinite Jest



Okay, so this is the year: Despite its immense readability and capacity for dispensing pounds upon pounds of brain candy like Shakespeare in a Santa suit, Infinite Jest is, as we know, simply a motherfucking mountain of a book, clocking in at 1100 pages or so. I have tried in the past and I have failed. About 4 times.

Not this year! For this expedition, I have assembled my team of bookworm sherpas to successfully ascend to the summit. We will not founder on the crags of page 200, or the treacherous crevaces of 450! We shall persist! And we shall prevail!

I'm on page 110 right now. Wish me luck.
