whoah yeah I never made that connection, neato. I need to read TR again soon, it's a wonderful book but my first time I around I seriously misread a couple stuff where it got dense with allusions.

Speaking of WG though, his essays are phenomenal if you haven't read them, Rush For Second Place in particular. They have that novelist touch so it doesn't feel like a typical polemic.

You should definitely read it. As for DeLillo and DFW being similar, I can't see how. One of them is among the great writers of prose fiction in the late 20th century/early 21st century US. the other one is David Foster Wallace.
