He perspirated a lot and was pretty nervous about it. I remember hearing that he would carry around a tennis racket and a towel at high school all the time so he had an excuse to wipe his sweat.

What of his works should I read if I don't want to jump on Infinite Jest ?

Don't bother with his essays; he was a mediocre thinker.

Try his short stories.

See the Marlon Bain character in IJ for a self portrait of the sweating thing.
