I had the same time as OP. After 200 pages or so, I stopped looking shit up in the appendix as it was annoying as fuck. Still haven't finished the book.

Are the footnotes not at the bottom of the page?

>> No.613771

>>613769
In my edition (identical to OP's pic) the footnotes are at the end of the book.

WAT HAPPEND TO HAL GUISE?

was it the mold he ate as a kid or did Pemulis give him some of that bizarro drug or was it something else entirely?

Also, is Joelle's face INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL or HORRIBLY DEFORMED ?

Seriously. The endnotes aren't optional. Some of them are like entries in a pharmacology text, but a lot of them are really long, and include parts of the narrative. I pity anyone for whom flipping to another bookmark to read an endnote is "too much work."

I read this during my senior year in high school, the same year that I read Gravity's Rainbow. I think I'll read it again this summer or sometime soon. DFW is my favorite author...

Infinite Jest is no laughing matter kids. I keep one under my bed every night. It's saved me from knived and bullets many a time.
