You're Doing It Wrong!

I generally am. Le sigh.

Anyway, I finished Infinite Jest recently. I actually enjoyed it much more than I had expected to (but hey, I'm sort of secretly obsessed with tennis and the notion that I secretly am a tennis savant and just don't know it [I'm not]). That said, I mostly just read it. I didn't really, really engage.

Thanks to a tip I got before I started the book, I read the footnotes. Go me! Generally, yes, I'm very, very lazy and do not read footnotes. However, after reading this little article I realized that I did not read this book properly. Ah, well.

Definitely a book that leaves you with more questions than answers, but more or less in a good way. Still, my back is going to thank me for finally finishing this one (lugging it around at 3.2lbs got a bit old).
