Infinite Summer

I woke up early this morning and fueled by a large pot of coffee powered through the last 50 pages of Infinite Jest. I really, really liked reading it. It was unlike any other book I had ever read and reading it was in itself a really unique experience. I don’t think it’s ever taken me a quarter of a year to read a book before and there were definitely times when it was a slog to get through, but in the end it was very worth it. It’s an epic, beautiful, brilliant book and one that’s worth the time and effort to read.

I’m elated at the prospect of starting new books though. I had come to the feeling that I had always been reading Infinite Jest, it was hard for me to imagine a time when I wasn’t. I’ll be excited to be able to finish a book in a few days again.
