That said still liked infinite jest. His college graduation speech is also pretty good. Other stuff was hit or miss.
Nonfiction is his best work.

I really need to continue Infinite Jest. It took me ages to read like 60 pages.
wrote last edited by [email protected]It's worth the exercise IMO. Was in a similar boat, then picked it back up after a year and a bit and finished it. I was happy I did, it's a great book.

Mark Danielewski: that’s cute
This is a reference to the book, House of Leaves~§~ by Mark Z. Danielewski.
§panda_abyss, in his seminal work on referring to House of Leaves, mentions this reference in the Lemmy~†~ Thread "3. DFW 4. ibid".
† I used to work as a tattoo artist you know.

The Denephew joke remains one of my all time favourites, and it was a footnote to a footnote.
