I'd like to read some of his work but I worry it will turn me into a Redditor. Any advice or first-hand experience on this topic?

Consider the lobster. If you have to worry about becoming one then you already are one.

Just read 30 pages of Infinite Jest per day. It's a book about controlling dopamine intake, which is why reddit hates it.
