“‘Learning how to think‘ really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think.”

This is a quick little book of excerpts from the only commencement address #DFW ever gave. Worth a read!

PS. One of my 2018 goals is to read more DFW.

RedbagReadbooks I own several of his books and I have yet to read one. May have to check this out 7y
britt_brooke @Aluciddreamer It‘s a nice, quick read. I read, and loved, Infinite Jest earlier this year as part of a buddy read. It‘s worth every hour and every footnote, and completely changed the way I read. I still need to get to his others. 7y
RealBooks4ever Excellent goal! 👍📚💜 7y

A dear friend of mine who owns a boutique custom made these cuffs for me! 😍😍 Two of my favorite book quotes:

“The library, and step on it.” - #InfiniteJest #DFW

“Mothers are all slightly insane.” - #TheCatcherintheRye #Salinger

In honor of the Whataburger Invitational. #DFW #InfiniteJest 🎾🍔🍟 Always have to hit Whataburger when deep south, though I‘ve heard they‘ll soon be opening locations in Tennessee. 🙌🏻 #vacation

Lit: A Memoir | Mary Karr

PS. It's said that Granada House was the model for IJ's Ennet House. #MaryKarr #Lit #DavidFosterWallace #DFW #InfiniteJest

LeahBergen 😮😮😮 7y
merelybookish I just saw a link to an interview with Karr called "Please stop asking me about David Foster Wallace." ☺️ 7y
britt_brooke @merelybookish Haha, yes, I read that recently! Her full quote is pretty funny. 7y

britt_brooke @LeahBergen Right?! The links are fascinating. 7y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen Annnnd .... it appears that Mary Karr was the inspiration for Joelle van Dyne. There are many similarities between the character and Karr's real life (i.e. Karr's dad's nickname for her was Pokey, Joelle's dad's nickname for her was Pokie). This stuff is fascinating! 7y
LeahBergen @britt_brooke Really?? This IS fascinating. It looks like I'll be adding this to my "pick up a copy when I see it" list. ?? 7y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen She only mentions him briefly, and never says his last name, but we know who she means. 😉 7y

Today for #independentseveryday I'm spotlighting The Last Word in Fort Worth, Texas -- which is, unfortunately, closing in just a few days. Then why feature it? Because when readers don't shop at indies, indies don't survive. That's the bottom line. If you love an indie, you know how to show it. #bookstore #bookstorelove #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #dfw #texas #indiebound #thelastwordbks #getindie
