All of the Paris Review interviews are now available online.
Here's a NYT article on DFW's wife and using art to deal with his suicide. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/10/fas...
As some of you may know I have a terrible memory when it comes to recalling the plots of the books I have read.Seeing this article in the NYT gives me a little hope and shows I am not alone.

DO others here suffer from the same poor recall? If so how do you battle it? Do you even try to?

Yeah I read it two times that week and I need to get myself a copy.
Thanks for posting the link ELizabeth, I have seen this book before on Amazon but haven't considered purchasing it, until now.

I'd love to find away to experience it again in a different way. "If you remember the title of this book be sure to let us know. There are a good deal of DFW fans in these parts, myself included.

I finished it and read every stupid word. I like Shel's idea of a typographical error drinking game using this book. Though even if we substituted water for booze we'd likely die from hyper-hydration.
I'm am glad to have moved on to Summer Crossing by Capote. There is something so light and nice about his prose.

Man I hope this thread catches on. These are great!
I may join in a week or so. I have the book here, but I am currently in the middle of two others.
Anyone have a link to that thread? It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who was at the Dork but I can't remember this guy.
Maybe the problem is that the bottle was from 1998 and you drank it in 2010.

Holy cow! That place looks great! I'll go!

Nevermind, I found the Shuttle service link and I should have no problem getting back on sunday.
My flight leaves at 11:30am on Sunday morning. Depending on when I can hitch a ride/shuttle back to the airport I may need to leave on Saturday Night.
Man, i didn't realize the scope of Wylie's client list. It's insane!http://www.wylieagency.com/CLIENT%20L...
