OK. It took me like a year to knuckle down and read this but I loved it and I'm so glad I took the time to read it. Really good mix of quirky humor and boredom & revisits the themes he's touched on earlier of how to engage with boredom and what itmeans to be a good human being in this society, I guess?

As soon as I finished reading I immediately thought “I don't think I got all of that, I should re-read that.” Which I also did with Infinite Jest which I have not re-read. ONE DAY. Make that ONE YEAR.

Also does anyone want to talk about the end? Or the lack of end? UGH dang it DFW why did you go and die?!
