Should I read Infinite Jest if I'm not a drug addict and have never been a drug addict or Canadian?

Of course. If you ever do become a Canadian or a drug addict, you'll be glad you came prepared.

Is this book actually good? I'm suspect of any writer who thinks Stephen King is good.

It is good. Read a page or two of it for yourself and decide if you want to read it.

I liked IJ, but speaking as an actual Québecois human being, his characterization of separatists is laughable at best

I'm real surprised that a caricature of a fictionalization of a fictional situation isn't very accurate.
He had me fooled that the strongest single contingent of the separatist movement is made up of a legless legion. You can always learn something new from /lit/.
