“I‘ve never been to a rodeo, “ Alice said as they started out. “What‘s it like?”
Tex grinned. “Well, Dave here is going to flip some fancy #loops and so‘s Bud.”
“He means they are going to rope cows,” said Bess
“Steers,” Tex corrected.

Week 4 @britt_brooke

LeahBergen Froot Loops!! 8y
RadicalReader @Purple610 so nice representation of loops like fruit loops 8y
britt_brooke I'm loving the fruit loops, too! 😁👏🏻 8y

britt_brooke GENERAL:

Circular, loop-like descriptions: annular, halo-like, orbits, infundibular (funnel-shaped)

Storylines are starting to really connect/loop. A lot of earlier mentioned characters have resurfaced at Ennet House. 8y
britt_brooke (cont.)
I've been reviewing the circles above the section headings (which I posted about a few days ago) going back to the beginning of the book. Most sections have both a heading and a circle, a few have only a title with no circle, and at least one has only a circle. I don't really have an analysis on all of that yet, though. 8y
britt_brooke SPECIFIC:

Radio signal - pushes out like a "centrifugal theme-park ride" (p.184)

Madame Psychosis caller speaks of the moon revolving around the sun, while it does not itself rotate. (p.192)

Enfield Marine Public Health Hospital complex is described as "seven moons orbiting a dead planet." (p.193)

Addictions can be replaced by other addictions/escapes: gambling, shopping, shop-lifting, sex, work, etc). A cycle, for some addicts. (p.202) 8y
Mtroiano @britt_brooke "the ultimate annular fusion: that of exhibit and its cage" on p. 222 - this whole section is full of loops (or downward spirals) 8y
britt_brooke @Mtroiano I haven't gotten that far yet. Finishing up this week's section today. 8y
Mtroiano @britt_brooke oops 🙊 8y
britt_brooke @Mtroiano No, no, you didn't do anything wrong! 😁 8y
LeahBergen I was so glad to finally read about some of the characters at Ennet House and have a little "aha" moment. 8y
LeahBergen And good job here. There are so many loops and circles and connections in this book ... it's enough to make one feel "loopy". ? 8y
LeahBergen Oops. I need to tag you so you see comments! @britt_brooke 8y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen Thanks .... and yes, I feel loopy! 😆 8y
britt_brooke P. 233 The great concavity/convexity - what goes around, comes back around.

"This ultimate cartridge-as-ecstatic-death rumor's been going around like a lazy toilet ..."

"... it's doubtless just a high-concept erotica or an hour of rotating whorls." (whorls - a coil or ring) 8y

I don't know how this has eluded me for three weeks, but the section markers are circles. I've noticed them, but not placed any significance on the shape until now. I'm sure this is not a coincidence. #infinitejestbuddyread #week4 #loops

JenP Ha ha, I noticed it but also did not realize the significance of their shape. Very good point 8y
CallMeIshmael Nice 8y
Purple610 Your drink glass is also a loop LOL. My first genuine smile today, thanks for that 😀 8y

britt_brooke @Purple610 ☺️☺️☺️ 8y
Kristelh Nice catch 8y
Hooked_on_books I noticed this and thought they were tennis balls. 8y
britt_brooke @CallMeIshmael @Kristelh Thanks 😊 8y
LeahBergen That line above it made me laugh ("for a second there I hoped.. ") ? (edited) 8y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen 😁 8y
britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books Could be, but I'm not sure with all of the "annular," circle, and loop-type references. I'm curious to see if they're on every section title. I haven't been paying that close attention. 8y
BookwormM I was thinking they were moons at different stages 8y

britt_brooke My husband and I tried to see this when we visited Rome several years ago, but Santa Maria della Vittoria was close for renovation/restoration or something. I was so disappointed! 8y
Abailliekaras @britt_brooke we will have to do an Infinite Jest buddy read trip to Rome! 8y
britt_brooke @Abailliekaras Perfect! 😁😆 8y

Hey! I haven't been a part of #booktober yet, so I decided to jump right in on Day Six! Today's challenge was "full of adventure," and for me (out of many) that was the Miss Peregrine trilogy. #loops
