RE: Infinite Jest, The Second Steemit Book Club Begins This Monday: Details Inside
Infinite Jest is a difficult book to read alone, IMHO.
Only recently, I learned about David Foster Wallace, and I bought two of his books: "Infinite Jest" and "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again".
The second book is my current "breakfast book" that I am reading slowly while eating my breakfast, when I am alone. Infinite Jest could not be a "breakfast book".
I started reading Infinite Jest first, but I stopped after around 100 pages.
As Dave Eggers in the 2006 Foreword says:
The point is that it's for all these reasons -- acclaimed, daunting, not-lazy, drum-tight,
very funny (we did not mention that yes but yes) -- that you picked up this book.
Will you actually read it?
I don't like when stop to read a book that I like, but I found it too hard to read it alone.
So, I am happy that Infinite Jest is the second book in the Steemit Book Club.
I'll be there on Monday.
