>>25183643I tried to read this a long time ago but dropped it like 150 pages in because the characters were too insufferable, should I pick it up again?
>>25183691no, it doesn't get better
>>25183643I just finished my second read-through and am loving it so far.>>25183691Yes, it unironically becomes enjoyable around 200-300 pages in. Wallace probably could have stood to trim it down a little more than he did, and sometimes I think he is genuinely just going out of his way to annoy people or make certain sections tedious to read, but there's a lot of territory he needs to establish before he really gets going and it just takes a while to get through it all.

>>25183643>biggest waste of time everENTER
>>25183691>the characters are insufferableThey're mostly based on DFW at various stages in his life as well as other academics, "lit bros", and addicts he knew, and people like that are quite often insufferable.It's much easier once you reach the halfway house part and get into Don Gately's point of view, who is about the polar opposite of insufferable.
