Hey y'all. I'd like to ask for some help on getting back into reading Infinite Jest. I started reading it like 2 years ago and I remember stalling at around page 320, where they start to explain the game of Eskathon.

A few months ago I came across a website where they would summarize each chapter in the order they appeared in the book (which I thought was very convenient to my plans of getting back to it) but I cant seem to find it anywhere, now...

So, anyone knows of this website, or something similar to this? I dont feel like reading it back from the start, since I can remember more than I thought I would, thus a recap would come in handy.

Thanks!

Three infographics to help you out

Hint: You'll need two bookmarks to handle the endnotes.

There's a lot of gap filling and guessing here.

This is retarded and doesn't explain the story at all, its a guess at the blank spot.

OP here, found this link http://infinitesummer.org/archives/215 which appears to gather a lot of good information and links that will aid reading thru it (and probably getting back into it)
