It's a weighty tome. I started a page - look right - called "Infinite Jesters".

I was sorting through books last night and found my copy of <i>A Supposedly Fun Thing...</i>, which is how my own tortured relationship with DFW began. The cover alone brings up all these competing feelings. Let me know what you think of <i>Infinite Jest</i>. I'm waiting for retirement to try and tackle that one. ;)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-57040470773749895862012-01-07T09:45:40.312-08:002012-01-07T09:45:40.312-08:00Whew!

What a great way to mark your reads. <br /><br />I have a friend who is a book publicist and Roller Derby skater (M Half knows her too, JULIA!) and her Derby name is Infinite Pest, in reference to the above mentioned marriage-heft title. <br /><br />I'm off to look these up now.
