Performance art. Crazy, insane, manic genius channeled into 1000+ pages, or in my case 56 hours of audiobook. I don’t know if I would have actually read the entire tome with my eyeballs. I did check out the book from the library and did read about 100 pages to get a feel for it. Fortunately fo...
While reading this book, I had big plans for this review. It was going to be long. It was going to be detailed. It was going to be introspective. - however, as I currently ride the high of finishing, I'm afraid that what captures my feelings best is something along the lines ofSLDKF JLSKJA;LDKJF ;AL...
Half way through the book, which is still a lot of pages should have told you if you would like the book or hate it.It is that kind of a book. So far, I found the writer quite brilliantly putting images into my mind and make me a "witness" to all these happening in the book. The NA meeting with the ...
My second read of Infinite Jest, still 5 stars, but it affected me differently this time around. I'm not sure how to review it, so I've compiled a list (from various internet sources) of events from 1996, instead.

“Sometimes excess isn’t enough.” –some anonymous Springfield readerThe Years of Humble BeginningsA couple years ago, somehow I stumbled on this site and realized, very quickly, what a tremendous opportunity it presented. A chance to catalog my library my way. How nice for me. Even better, a chance...
I feel like I just ran head-on into the brick wall that is Infinite Jest, and my head isn't quite clear enough to figure out what I thought yet.I mean, it was a slow-motion run, given that I started this back in December and read it very, very slowly. I've taken a lot of time to think about it. Why ...
