Infinite Jest

Dune

[-] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've started infinite jest several times, the last time I thought I'd try on my kindle to make the constant footnotes a bit easier to get back and forth from. Still only got 100 or so pages in. One day I'll get there.

@Confuzzeled @nandeEbisu highly recommended. So funny

Infinite Jest as well. I just don’t get it 🤷‍♂️ I don’t get the hype, or the humor, or the plot—I feel I’m missing something in order to ‘get’ this book.
