finished reading Infinite Jest today, lads

read the final page then obviously went straight back to the start and read Year of Glad again.

spent some time contemplating how I'd ever find the time to re-read the whole thing to make sense of it all, and how going through it all again with an understanding of the events would make it all fit together and complete the narrative

Then it hit me.

God bless you, you absolute mad man. I had the time of my life reading that book.

>I only read for the prose
