Is reading Infinite Jest really worth the effort? I mean, assuming I don't care to be that asshole who brags about having finished it?
- I have tried to finish it 3 times but failed each time. Everyone I know who has finished it says it is worth it though.fadein11
- No.monospaced
- For me, the process of reading it was so tedious that by the time I finished, I had forgotten what happened in the beginning, and why I was reading it at all.monospaced
- Overall impression it left is vague at best and somehow in its epicness, I have almost no memory of the characters or plot.monospaced
- On the other hand, what else am I doing right now?nb
- Im in fadein's boat... I tried twice and gave up both times.Al_dizzle
