Today‘s author spotlight: David Foster Wallace! Born in Ithaca, NY, he died in 2008 at 46 in Claremont, CA, from suicide after struggling with depression 😔. He was the first Roy E. Disney English and creative writing professor at Pomona College. He received numerous awards, including the Pulitzer, and TIME ranked “Infinite Jest” as one of the
English language‘s 100 best novels between 1923 and 2005. #AuthorPotpourri #TheMoreYouKnow
⭐⭐⭐⭐ I liked it alot! I wonder what it would have become if he hadn't died prior to finishing.
Wow. That epilogue. This was such a beautiful and emotional book! Something I‘m definitely not sure I normally would have picked up if it weren‘t for my reading challenge, but I‘m glad I did.
Read this for my #readharder2018 #posthumous prompt.

For one day thanks to #24B4Monday I was caught up with the pace for my #Goodreads goal, but I‘m not worried!
If you‘re not already a fan of DFW, this book is probably not for you. But if you ARE a fan, read it. I miss his mind so much, and I‘m still very, very sad about his suicide. This novel would have been fantastic had he finished it.
