We like to trick people into reading it by memeing about it so much.

>>8101070
It's the first step to patricianship.
>>
>>8101070
It's needlessly long and oddly structured book that you can use to convince the normies in your life that you're an intellectual. Hardly anyone here has actually read it from beginning to end.
>>
>>8101126
Plenty of people have read it. It's a pretty breezy read. Nothing compared to the other books of the meme trilogy.

You know what? That whole scene is a perfect representation of life after giving up Infinite Jest

mfw only half way through Infimeme meme. Been reading it for ever. What a joke.

I cant imagine reading it over a very long time period

I read it in around 20 days and I forgot a lot of the references he made earlier.

Somebody post that "DAVID FOSTERR WALLAAACEEE" guy.

You probably didn't get it

I honestly don't understand how people read James Joyce outside of an academic setting
