Infinite Jest (-20th Anniversary) | David Foster Wallace

#InfiniteJestBuddyRead Quote of the week. These are not so much "full quotes" as just lines that struck me. Has anyone else been stopping and relishing a phrase here and there?

saresmoore Defecatory posture! These are great! 8y

Lindy Nice! I relish fine wordsmithing also. I keep a journal handy for quotes too. I worry about annoying Littens by posting too many of them here. 8y

CrowCAH I agree with @RadicalReader, your printing is pristine and legible! 8y

Currey Yes, you picked out some good ones. I have been relishing when with Hal...Erdedy not so much 8y

shawnmooney You're giving me FOMO here, girlfriend… 💗💗💗 8y

britt_brooke Yes! I've been jotting down a lot of descriptions thus far. (edited) 8y

britt_brooke @shawnmooney We're only a few days in, join us! We have a long way to go ... 8y

shawnmooney @britt_brooke It is indeed tempting. I can't find the original post about the timeline for reading. I'm feeling ridiculously overcommitted with three reading challenges, etc. Hmmm... 😗 8y

britt_brooke @shawnmooney I totally called you out (but no pressure), hope you don't mind. ☺️😉 8y

LeahBergen @RadicalReader Aww, thanks! 😀 8y

LeahBergen @CrowCAH 😊 Thanks! 8y

LeahBergen @Lindy I always worry about annoying people with my posts, too. 😂 8y

shawnmooney @britt_brooke @LeahBergen Ok, ladies, I'm in! I am doing it on Kindle and assume the percentages will equate to the schedule which presumably was based on the print book. Anyway, here I go! ❤❤ 8y

JenP @shawnmooney the first week ends at the section titled "3 November - Year of the depend adult undergarment" if that helps. It's at the top of page 60 in the print version. 8y

britt_brooke @shawnmooney 😊👏🏻 8y

LeahBergen Yay, @shawnmooney !! 😘 8y

Desha Welcome @shawnmooney So glad you've joined us! ☺️👍🏻📚📚📚 The more the merrier, and as I figure (I've also got three reading challenges going plus about 4 book clubs 😜😂😯) the more books the merrier! #nevertoomanybooksnotenoughbookshelves #crazybookworm 8y

shawnmooney @JenP Thanks! That means the percentages are a lot different in Kindle. Do you mean I should read the 'Depend Adult Undergarment' chapter for this week, or stop just before that? In either case, that is 2% or 3% in, respectively, on the Kindle version. 8y

shawnmooney @britt_brooke @LeahBergen @Desha Thanks everyone - it's gonna be a blast! See my comment to @JenP just now - the percentages on the list aren't matching up with the percentages on my Kindle so I have to somehow figure out how to pace myself appropriately without bugging you guys each and every week to give me chapter names. Hmmm.... 8y

JenP @shawnmooney hmm, the stopping point would be before starting November 3rd depend adult undergarment. The percentages may be off bc of the footnotes but that's a problem bc several are reading on the kindle. I may put out another schedule with more detail for those of you on kindle. So your final sentence should end with "hyperadiposity, lumbar stressae." 8y

shawnmooney @JenP Thanks! I realized what the problem is – there is a section or chapter entitled 'Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment' and then there is a chapter right afterwards entitled "3 NOVEMBER —YEAR OF THE DEPEND ADULT UNDERGARMENT" - stopping just before that latter chapter puts me at the 6% mark too. My earlier comments had been about the former chapter with the similar title. Sheesh, talk about confusing hey? (edited) 8y

JenP @shawnmooney yes, it's all very confusing and I had to make some cuts in the middle of "chapters" so that will be extra confusing for all of us. What I will do is at the beginning of each week, I will post the section pages with first and last sentences. 8y
