ah yes, and so but and but so, the measurement device aforementioned; a purposeless artifact without helpful elaboration. afford it unto this recipient, an explanation?

>> No.9182937

>>9182928
You must dig into yourself to find the reason.

I for one, believe it shows the emasculation of the OP due to the size and girth of Foster Wallace's magnum opus, in regards to Op's 'magnum opus'

Is this book good

It sounds interesting and I want to read it, I think.

How is it so difficult? There's a glossary? It's nonlinear?

It is actually a very funny and sad book with excellent characters. People are little bitches about this book and honestly I don't see how someone would have trouble understanding it. It's just long. It's not fucking Finnegan's Wake or something. The nonlinear plot points begin to connect in your mind after a while.

No glossary, just a lot of endnotes. a lot of key plot points are revealed here, as well as a lot of jokes that are laugh out loud funny.
