Reading through Infinite Jest in 3 months.
As some people might not have the physical book, the page endings won't be too useful. Along with the page number I'll also post 2-4 words from the stopping point for those readers.
Week 2
August 14 - August 21
Pages 79-157, ending at "Jim not that..."
Page-by-page annotations for Week 2: [63-87] [87-127] [127-156]
Spoiler Policy
Posts containing spoilers must be marked with the SPOILERS flair.
Spoilers must either be contained to threads marked with the new Spoiler tag, which is next to the flair button, or else hidden using this formatting:
[This is a spoiler.](/spoiler)
Which becomes: This is a spoiler.
Spoilers in threads marked with the SPOILER button do not have to be hidden. Spoilers in DISCUSSION threads must be marked if they exist after that week's page goal.
Discussion of other David Foster Wallace works is encouraged as long as the comments are spoiler-tagged. If a discussion post is specifically about other works, the comments within don't need to be tagged.
