OOhhh. Let me know if you enjoy it as much as I did. Of course, coming after this experience of yours, who knows….

Well, that’s what I would have said about myself too until now. But I think this week of writing about IJ has been not only helpful but necessary to enable me to move to another book. So weird.

And, my next book is going to be Wild Lives, and I think I might just be ready to start it tonight! Thanks for the recommendation!

Tricia, that is so interesting because this is the first time it has ever happened to me. Usually, I move from one book to the next without pausing for more than a moment.

Kim-oh yes, do have an Infinite Autumn. And thanks again for inspiration–see today’s post!

Walt-thank you so much for this wonderful comment with its beautiful sentences.

When you described your copy of IJ as “a marked up,underlined,margin-filled-with-exclamations-and-notes copy of Infinite Jest lovingly mauled and tattered and bookmarked to within an inch of it’s bookish life,” it made me think of Count Almasy’s only possession–his copy of Herodotus’ The Histories in The English Patient, lovingly filled with notes, drawings, and papers.

I love the image of your professor Albert Glover breathing you all in and then exhaling you out into the sunshine.

With your comment in mind, I so look forward to one day rereading IJ.

“I am shocked at how much I loved Infinite Jest.”
