I stumbled upon this board by chance. I usually watch the others. Anyhow, I saw Infinite Jest here often. At first I didn’t believe the stories. But then I decided to buy it and give it a read. I have now bought all the different covers with Infinite Jest. At first I would read it normally. Then I started reading it from end to beginning. Then I just opened the page and started reading it. Sometimes I read it out loud. When I do that I use different voices. For example I do a yelling voice, or a seductive woman, or I do a documentary voice. I try to memorize parts of the book and would see how much I got right. I usually spend most of my time like this. My family worries about me and tells me there is more to life as Infinite Jest. I just think they don’t understand it. I also read reviews of Infinite Jest and when I read them I make a face you see on those funny David Foster Wallace reaction images. I keep at least one Infinite Jest book to whenever I go (but well, it is not like I go away that much). It is a bummer the book is so heavy but I think it is worth it. I lurk here often but I am too timid to actually post here. I get scared easily and when I do I find comfort in thinking about Infinite Jest. It took a lot of courage to make this post but I just wanted you all to know that I and Infinite Jest are really happy together and I wouldn’t have found out about this masterpiece without this board, so thanks.

Is it better than Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment?

Undoubtedly, though there's an old bias on here held by those who have only read what they were assigned.

Is this satire on reading the Bible?
