what is this, anons? I finished this book last summer, took me little over a week cause I was home all day. Every book I've attempted to read after it has just felt so "meh". I used to blast through books but now I get tired after 10 pages.

Try don delillo. DFW raved about white noise. Read DFW's nonfiction and short stories, especially oblivion. Then read The Pale King. It'll feel incomplete and be kind of disappointing but is still important to read.
Then reread IJ.

This. Currently on my second read of IJ and it feels like a different book. Maybe I’m a brainlet.
