How to read; Infinite Jest Anonymous 07/06/26(Mon)15:31:59 No.25387397

Got about a quarter way through this some years ago. I really enjoyed it. I want to give it another shot.

I haven't read a full book in over a year.

Any recommendations for building my attention span back up and any advice / tips on how to tackle this book?

Try read every day?
Every couple days?

Best way to tackle Infinite Jest?

Thanks

Should the entire book be read in 6 weeks?

Don't stress about every single detail, just pay attention to whose perspective it is for each chapter and abbreviations. Have 3 bookmarks. Footnotes are truly optional.

Good advice, yes, can get caught up with the heavy wording and lack of paragraphing.
