Jason’s comments from the Infinite Jest – David Foster Wallace group.

I guess I'm more interested in what would be considered on point for a thread named "General chit-chat."

I'll read the cliff's notes. It's just multiple choice, right?

Gee, I was hoping for a more encouraging endorsement, but I'll take what I can get!

I might be more interested in reading it in December than in January. It won't take us that long to read Margarita and this way we won't have two huge projects going at once. It is ambitious enough for me to attempt Infinite Jest OR Proust. Imagine both at once???! It is almost comical!

I might do December with you, Kris. And even if it takes me a couple months, I'm sure their reading schedule will be like two months per book, which is fine. I think the groups are set up so that people can read at their leisure. Obviously it's nicer when everyone reads together, but a few weeks plus or minus will be fine, I think.

A lot of us are in the Proust group. Can we convince them to set their reading schedule around ours? Maybe we can get them to delay Proust a smidge so we have time for IT. No?

yessss, MJ is here!

this group?
is that like you people?
