We can chat here or on twitter. I don't care. I'm just excited to be reading this thing!

I'm kinda voting for chatting about the book here. That way don't miss anything. Thoughts?
Works for me! And this way we can read and discuss at times convenient for us instead of trying to coordinate everyone. :)
I'm only 20 pages in, and I can already see I am going to be donating a large portion of my life to reading this book! I am so intrigued!
I like that idea too. the new Twitter reply feature makes it hard to follow all the strings. I just started this book tonight. 😃
I just got the book on Audible. Can't wait to start!!
yay! I'm up to 47. I think I need to buy reading glasses. I can read the words just fine, but my eyes are tiring faster than my brain!
I'm enjoying the book but I fear I'm missing a lot with the audio. The footnotes are not included, there's just a female voice that says the number of each note. I may look online to see if they're available
I felt I wasn't getting enough from the audiobook so I grabbed the book from the library (lift with your legs not you back in this case 😃). I still listen to the audio because it's a fun audiobook but re-read some sections in the book to help cement it. plus, the footnotes are just a right bastard in the audio version
I forgot to add that if you get the book through Audible, the footnotes (end notes) are included. I am assuming it is in the last file but I've never bothered to look as I feel it would break the flow of the story
Thanks! I think I will check the Library. I'm loving his style and I want all that's coming 😀
I'm really enjoying this book but the author just used the word "irregardless" and I'm struggling to not judge him
I had to skip a seemingly large section with regards to Lenz and animals (maybe around page 550-600). if anyone made/makes it through, can you please let me know if I missed anything major?
I just realized I never sent my post regarding the use of "irregardless." It also annoyed me. I'm taking a break on Infinite Jest because I'm way behind on my reading list. I'll pick it up again soon.
I had to put it down when I got my brain injury. I will be picking it back up in a couple of weeks.
