reddit general?

Surely you jest.
Surely he jests.
this is so transparent that i bet it will turn into a serious thread
Yes, and it's actually a good book.
>>7845552
Is it really infinite though? I just don't want to get my expectations up before starting.
>>7845552
i'm up to page 500 and so far it's just been muh addiction muh substances and muh tennis
>>7845518
I have actually not read it. I find it interesting how many of the art related boards here seem to have these agreed-upon god-tier artists. Is DFW to /lit/ what Swans is to /mu/?

>Wallace said that the ideal reader of the Jest would suffer from "ideal insomnia" and, on completing the book, would turn to page one and start again, and so on in an endless cycle of reading.

he's not really considered good here (let alone god-tier) because bloom our patron saint considered him to have 'no discernible talent', he's a meme

On page 84, can confirm. But God is the reading slow. This book is like 20 pages an hour for me.

>can confirm
why is reddit lingo creeping in
>>7845615
>Not posting like reddit ironically
>>7845615
How would you know anon?
>>7845615
Sorry.
On page 84, I affirm your statement. But God is the reading slow. This book is like 20 pages an hour for me.
Anything else I should change?

This is the second thread in which i've seen Neutral Silk Motel mentioned alongside Infinite Jest. How deep does this go? What else is going on here?
