Any fans of Infinite Jest (1996)? (lemmy.world)

Title is a bit redundant; I can't see how anybody could read the book and not come away as a fan, but I'm just wondering if there's anyone on Lemmy who's read it.

What do you think? I'd love to meet some other fans of DFW.

A great read. My favorite quote:

If you'd told me I'd enjoy a book with hundreds of pages about tennis I'd have laughed at you. Turns out the joke was on me as I loved it. Did struggle a little with the back and forth of the footnotes, but that's what bookmarks are for.
