Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace.

Yes or No?

10 Answers

yes (I haven’t read it myself yet but I intend to) 😉

I tried but just couldn’t get into it!

I will adore that book beyond the end of days. For your first read, I would advise to stay in the moment rather than worry about the story itself.

Lenora

Nope

Janet

Me either!

Elizabeth

Nope.

Melinda

Yes. Very very slowly.

Stephanie

YES!! Ignore those saying no. However, I agree with Melinda Miller. Go through it slowly, and yes, actually read the footnotes/end notes. It took me 6 months to get through it (you can’t read binge-read this one), but it’s definitely worth it.

Don’t be surprised when you finally finish, that you want even more DFW. Read the rest of his work too….

Mitchell

Absolutely not…but some of his other works are fantastic.

Mitchell

The Jest is on you spinning your wheels months on end to finish that mess.
