Infinite Jest characters that remind you of yourself?

For me it's Hal -- intelligent, autistic, and an encyclopedic sense of usage.

>> No.17928391

A mix of Hal, Orin and Dad.

Himself. Favorite part of the book is his whole situation with the bed and his father. He thinks a lot in the way I do. I like Hal a lot too, obviously.
