I decided to pick this up purely on a throwaway comment somewhere saying Infinite Jest fans are as annoying as Dune fans, and I really liked dune, so :haw:

So far what's got me through the first 100 pages is getting to the very brief glimpses into how the medical attaché's quiet night in is progressing, but I'm persisting in the hope that the book gets going soon...

I have read literally nothing about this book that spoils the plot, but so far I'm guessing that the infinite jest work(s) that got mentioned in the torturously long filmgraphy endnote is what the mysterious tape is?

I finished it a month or two ago. I would say that it never really gets going, so to speak, it just kinda sucks you in at some point. It got me somewhere after page 200.

regarding your spoiler yes, its one of them, V i believe
