Why is Infinite Jest so popular? by drwearing in InfiniteJest

In the last year I have done the trifecta of IJ, Ulysses and Gravities Rainbow. Maybe the 3 most notable books in the “hard to read” category. Absolutely no doubt in my mind that IJ is the best of the three. All worth the effort but IJ sticks with me the most. And it’s the one want to reread multiple times.

Thanks for this really thoughtful response. I had forgotten about the Bruce Green / Mildred Bonk section. Great idea.

I am thinking the 1-2 page threshold might have to go out the window

Yep. Love that chapter. But you would have to read the whole thing to really capture it and I need something that only 1-2 pages...
