Hi Alicia, thank you very much for the mention. What's this book club? I'm really pleased you gave up on Infinite Jest: I've started and stopped several times, and knowing I'm not alone in that is a great source of comfort, given that everyone says what a fantastic piece of work it is. I have to say, I have absolutely loved what I've read - I'm a huge fan of Foster Wallace -- but I've never got enough time to continue reading it before I forget what I've read, if you see what I mean. So my experience of Infinite Jest is a sort of literary Groundhog Day.
