Okay then give me the medal for finishing Infinite Jest already, though I am re-reading the last bit of the chapter to understand what happened. Well, this was a bit meh! that I suspected it to be. It's just a mess of characters interaction and a drug-fueled psyche at work so many characters so many threads and where do we end? literally nowhere (It's no spoiler, relax). I liked the book in various pieces but the whole and oh what a whole it is. It's not like I am not used to reading long books ...more
