It‘s here!! #InfiniteJest

Cinfhen Yowza!!! #YouGoGirl 2y
britt_brooke The chunkster of all chunksters! 🤩 Are you starting soon? Do you have page flags? A notebook? 😅 It‘s a lot of work, but so worth it. (edited) 2y
Megabooks @Cinfhen 😀😀💜 2y

LeahBergen @britt_brooke I always think fondly of our reading it together! 🥰 2y
Megabooks @britt_brooke I need to finish up my read of The 1619 Project before I take another long read on. So probably late this month or next. 👍🏻👍🏻 what are my IJ must haves?? 2y
Megabooks @LeahBergen I remember that buddy read and I had huge fomo. I guess I‘m finally getting to it. 😉 I‘m glad it was so fun for you!! 😀 2y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen Me, too! 💚 A reading experience like no other! 2y
britt_brooke @Megabooks The only real tips I have are to read slowly, carefully, and take notes. You‘ll probably want a couple of books marks, too. I used one as usual, but a second one to mark where I was in the footnotes which are long, intense and full of clues/information. You‘ll be flipping back and forth quite a bit. Watch for patterns. Colors, for example. I remember a color being mentioned on nearly every page. It‘s such a complex read. 2y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen Who else read it with us besides our incredible leader @JenP ? It‘s driving me mad that I can‘t remember! 2y
AmyG Good for you! I am so intimidated by this book which I have had forever. 2y
LeahBergen @Megabooks I tell ya… it was reading it with a group that made me finish it! I‘d recommend setting a weekly page goal (nothing too high) and just keep forcing yourself onwards. It DOES pay off. 😆😆 And like @britt_brooke said, definitely keep a tab in the footnotes section. You‘ll be flipping there a LOT. 2y
LeahBergen @britt_brooke I was trying to remember, too, and attempted to scroll back on here to see. 😆 I think @Simona and @Hooked_on_books and who else? 🤔 2y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen YES! Ok, I just found our tag #infinitejestbuddyread - there are over 600 posts! 😂😂 I‘m tempted to read them all. (edited) 2y
BarbaraBB Wow Meg, how cool! 2y
LeahBergen @britt_brooke 🤣🤣 I just reread a bunch of them! 2y
Hooked_on_books Yep, I was part of that, @LeahBergen @britt_brooke ! I never would have finished without the buddy read! In the end, I was not a fan, but glad I was able to finally get through it (and get it off the shelf!). 2y
britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books Even though I loved it, I doubt I‘d have gotten through it without the group either. It‘s so dense! 2y
JenP I loved it too but definitely a large part of it was reading it with all of you 2y

Day 29 - #infinite #literaryluck

A gargantuan, mind-altering comedy about the pursuit of happiness in America. Set in an addicts' halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family, Infinite Jest explores what entertainment is and why it has come to dominate our lives; how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are.

EadieB I own this book and I need to read it soon! #infinitejest #davidfosterwallace #1001bookstoread 5y
Vinjii It took me two years to read this and I still don‘t know if I like it. 5y
EadieB @Vinjii Funny! 5y

Violetta @tournevis That's a pity. But all the more interesting to read myself, after I've seen quite a lot of different opinions! 5y

"The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you" Seeing out 2017 with the fantastic 'Infinite Jest', until it sets me free to make a start on the Christmas haul #infinitejest

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