How to Read Infinite Jest and here's another lovely list.
Infinite Summer also has a lovely Index. In it you will find:
- Three essays about why you should read this novel...yes, three. Why I Am Reading Infinite Jest (by the lead singer of The Decemberists), Why Read Infinite Jest and, um, Why Read Infinite Jest
- Links for preparing...the how to above, links to DFW essays and short stories, and a Forward.
- the % of pages read a day with links to essays about those pages and weekly breakdowns and roundups.
What are you finding most useful as you prepare to read this novel or other chunksters?
Oh! And, if you are reading with us and haven't read the opening post or joined up, here it is!
