Welcome to Litsy!

What I liked: lots of types of families represented, kids being reassured that they will get to see more of their parents more on the weekend. What I didn‘t: Only a Mon-Fri workweek is shown. This isn‘t true for a lot of us. Also, neither my kids nor I are just making it through until we see each other. They‘re having fun, learning, hanging out with friends, and I‘m doing important work. I think that is a good thing for them to see as well.

Happy Reading

I made it to week 12. Once behind it is tough to catch up. I am suppose to be at 66% but my kindle app says 59%. Am I in the right spot or not? @JenP #infinitejestbuddyread. #week 12?

#infinitejestbuddyread, #week 7. No such thing as a Ford Adventura and this was premustang. I hadn't heard of that make of ford so had to check that out. This is where I am at in my catchup 📖 @JenP

#infinitejestbuddyread #week 7 on page 389 Lyle and LaMont Chu discuss the notion of fame and how it isn't an exit from any cage. Lyle says "you might consider how escape from a cage must surely require, foremost, awareness of the fact of the cage."

What role do cages play in Infinite Jest? What references to cages have you noticed? give specific examples of characters trapped in their own "cages." What types of "cages" apply to each character?
