So it's gorgeous and the story's good, and I keep aahhing over how cleverly it's laid out while contemplating putting it away for awhile for something I don't have to turn upside down. Maybe I'm old-fashioned.Maybe I want the footnotes to hold entertainment value as opposed to mainly functioning to keep me flipping around. Pushing through for now.

How would people in both the pro and con camps regarding DFW feel if i said that, even only this far in, this book is reminiscent of IJ in both format (pieces, multiple narrators, footnotes) and subject matter (filmmaking, perception, dynamics of friends/family)?? I know it is horror-leaning, especially as it moves farther on, just wondering out loud as to whether the feeling of similarity will continue...
