<div>I read the whole book, years ago. I was blown away. By and far the best book i have ever, ever read. I haven't been able to make it through a book since. None compare. <br/> <br/>Help me. Is there a way to recalibrate my brain so that I can enjoy other books?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://infinitejest.tribe.net">Infinite Jest</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>I'm only halfway through it and it's vintage Wallace. Which means it's good but nothing new. He's still brilliantly describing, the labyrinthian processes of the human brain. Hilarious and horrifiying. <br/> <br/>Anybody else have this?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://infinitejest.tribe.net">Infinite Jest</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hi guys, I didn't realize anyone else had actually joined this tribe. I feel so proud. So has anyone here actually finished reading Infinite Jest? More importantly, if you've gotten to the last page of the book, are you actually finished, or did you feel the urge to start over again and figure out what the hell you missed?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://infinitejest.tribe.net">Infinite Jest</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>David Foster Wallace will be here in SF on June 17 at 8 pm. More info: <br/> <br/>http://www.cityboxoffice.com/orderticketsarea.asp?p=1218&amp;a=1153&amp;backurl=eventcategory%2Easp%3Fc%3D18%26pg%3D <br/> <br/>I'm really looking forward to it. Here's the event description from the above link, sadly lacking details/footnotes: <br/> <br/>-- <br/>Though David Foster Wallace admits to "devoting a lot of energy to creating expectations and then taking pleasure in disappointing them," he clearly takes fiction to a new level. His epic second novel, Infinite Jest, doesn't disappoint critics or readers. It spans 1076 pages, three plot lines, and a large section of endnotes and has earned Wallace the title of "most important writer of his generation." Equally talented in non-fiction, Wallace tackles subjects ranging from hip-hop culture to the dregs of cruise vacations in his popular journalism. <br/> <br/>David Foster Wallace grew up on an Illinois farm and studied creative writing at the University of Arizona. Meticulous, intelligent, and undeniably funny, Wallace recently completed the non-fiction work, Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity, as well as a new book of short stories, Oblivion. He teaches Creative Writing at Pomona College. <br/>--</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://infinitejest.tribe.net">Infinite Jest</a> - 1 reply </div>
