SilkyP posted:A supposedly fun thing I'll never do again by DFW. I liked the essay he wrote on tennis that some goon linked in the essay thread a lot so I picked it up cheap online. Only a quarter of the way in. Not bad, nothing I've liked as much as his tennis essay but dude seemed like a pretty interesting guy. Haven't read any of his other stuff but will probably end up reading some of his shorter stuff. I'd like to try Infinite Jest but I'm not sure if it would actually be enjoyable or if it's just a book hipsters like to say they read as a badge of honor. 'A supposedly fun thing' is glorious essay writing. If its hipster to read DFW then strap me down, curl my moustache and pass me the corncob pipe  I'm actually reading DFW's The Girl with the Curious Hair. I'm about halfway through and super into it. The wide array of voices he uses establishes him as a master of the craft imo.
