I got like 320~ pages in before I tapped out. I'll probably try again at some point. I liked a lot of the ideas that were presented, I think about that chapter where the grandfather Incandenza is talking about how all machines are built with an intention of use including the human body all the time.

please cite the exact page & paragraph that justifies the forehead bandana as either utility or style; poor explanations such as "axel rose is famous and some people like him?" or "i'm a sweaty tennis dude" will not be accepted. There has to be a plausible reason for it somewhere in these records, god drat

did anyone actually order Steeply to dress as a woman or was it just his own thing, done because he thought it was expected?

I did the bandana thing for a while but in my defense I had had a surgical procedure on my head and was missing some hair.

The fact that I look just like budget DFW and also grew up in central Illinois notwithstanding

I really like the scene where the entire tennis school has a movie night. idk why it just felt cozy in a way DFW can do but doesn't do a lot in IJ

there used to be an event called... Infinite Summer(?) where people do a group read every summer. IIRC the first was in 2009, first summer after his death. I participated and it was my second read-thru and I enjoyed the book a lot more with group discussion
