Infinite Jest

Submitted by Dimby on February 23, 2025
Bit of a long shot here, but has anyone ever read Infinite Jest? It’s very long, and it took me a long time to kinda decide if I liked it or not. I think it’s slowly becoming the best literature I’ve ever read as I reflect more on it, and as I read more of the great works of the 20th century. Reading Lolita, 100 Years of Solitude, and The Old Man and the Sea… I just find myself thinking how Infinite Jest was better written. I’ve never come across someone who’s read the thing, and I’d just love to hear someone else’s opinion on it. 🤔
It’s on a bunch of greatest novels lists, though. It’s stupidly hard to read, but I found it worth the initially incomprehensible slog.
