Someone needs to set up an LLM that constantly generates new text to put after the end of this book so we can have a truly infinite IJ
>>25183643if he didnt kill himself nobody would care about this shit
>>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.
wardine be cry
>>25183643ironic you say that as you post on 4chan. he was right about that part
>>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.

~700 pages in atmThere are aspects of this novel I can say are belonging to the worst book I, in my adulthood, have ever read (to be fair, I'm a classicscuck so I pretty much blahblahblahHonestly I can't be fucked to finish writing the post I was going to make, so just know that, shitposting aside, I actually think it's a great book and respect its author and blahblahblah something about my criticisms being of a level of intimacy I haven't otherwise given to other works I've read and [further extrapolation] yadda yaddaI'll probably end up killing myself too so I don't hold that against the bloke like some of you other cunts
