I have read The Kreutzer Sonata, listened to a couple of hours of The Thirteenth Tale, and started the fourth Darkmouth book with my son. Now it's time to dedicate a few hours to Infinite Jest. I'm 143 pages (plus footnotes) behind my #InfiniteSummer schedule, so I have a bit of catching up to do!
#12inTwo
I may have a dedicated readathon stack for #24in48 but I can‘t skip my daily #InfiniteSummer reading. Today I spent almost two hours embroiled in footnotes, Québécois separatism, and a crazy game of Eschaton. I‘m going to miss my daily instalments when I get to the end. (Why does it have to end? ?) The last time I felt this way was when I read Middlemarch.
But now... on to something lighter for late night reading with wine.
So... I have questions, and they‘re not about the plot. Surely Toblerone was available all week? I mean, I know it‘s Swiss, but..?
And characters keep watching film cartridges on teleputers. Is this something DFW made up, or some American tech fad that never made it to the rest of the world? Is cartridge just American for video tape?
#InfiniteSummer #Lostintranslation
Starting the #InfiniteSummer read! Ten pages a day (plus footnotes) for three months. Love that there's a website dedicated to this: infinitesummer.org
