The first episode was easily the most enjoyable until far later in the book. I absolutely love the beginning. I am sitting in a room, surrounded by heads and bodies.
Always reminds me of Alivn Lucier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAxHlLK3Oyk
I just started it and I'm completely captivated. It's hilarious with just a bit of a dark under-toning that makes it that much better.

It's meant to be tedious cause life is tedius.
You do know Wallace wrote an entire essay on how Dostoyevsky was like the best outline of his New Sincerity ideals right?
