checked. I am the crowd, and I am not pleased. You don't sound like Infinite Jest, but you do sound like David Foster Wallace. I am tired of pointing out how Wallace's attempt in life and literature was a failure, yet a necessary one in hindsight. He was anti-ironic, yet still too ironic. He promoted honesty, yet still not honest enough. Infinite Jest is a meme. Infinite Jest has its merits. Wallace was a tormented soul for many reasons. One is certainly his world-view. So think twie, before you adopt it.

Looking for some bloomer /lit/, hit me up with some recs

>I tell people "You can do this." and they write back "You were right. I can do this. And now I believe I can do anything."

This is from the "literary life" thread from several days ago. It got a big response, I re-read his post many times. I feel like this dude might be producing great work, and I kinda worry about him. It got a lot of responses so I don't think I'm alone in this. Is he the most /lit/ man currently posting here? Is he just crazy?
