How long did it take you to read the meme trilogy?
For me it was:
IJ - 2 weeks
Gravity's Rainbow - 1 month
Ulysses - 1 month
IJ - 2 weeks
Gravity's Rainbow - 4 months
Ulysses - 2 months
this is however unfair because I read Infinite Jest whilst unemployed and living at home so I had really nothing getting in the way of reading whereas Ulysses and GR were read at busier points of my life
Ulysses - 4 months
Infinite Jest - 3 months
Gravity's Rainbow - 2 months
I learned how to read faster as I went down the line.

I read Gravity's Rainbow in about a month (it was for an independent reading assignment junior year of high school). I've only read about 300 pages of Infinite Jest which took me one morning when I was hungover and needed something to take my mind off things. I've never tried to read Ulysses.

Basically, I was on break with nothing to do. So I would wake up, have some eggs and toast (with a little jam and butter of course) while reading, read, take a shit while reading, go for a run, read, eat, piss, read, eat, shit, read, sleep. It was a good two weeks.

No not really. I didn't make a chore out of it or push myself to read or anything. I just liked the book, had a comfy hammock and lots of time to spare.
If one had to (why would they?) it could be speedread much faster. It's a pretty breezy book for all its reputed difficulty
IJ - 2-3 months during the summer
Gravity's Rainbow - a month or two during the school year, making myself read 20 pages a day until I was lugging it to every class and unable to put it down
Ulysses - a few weeks for a class. by far the hardest to read though I did it the quickest
IJ - 40 days more or less
Reading GR now. In my defence, I'm not a native speaker
Infinite Jest - two weeks
Gravity's Rainbow - three weeks
Ulysses - haven't read it yet. I'm anticipating that it will be drier than the other two
None of the books are particularly long.
Where can I find the Infinite Jest pdf?
