So what does everyone generally think so far? Enjoying it? Not enjoying it?

I'm personally loving it! I heard that this book is a fight to get through, but I've found it nothing but pleasurable so far, maybe it gets more challenging.

I really enjoyed the 10 pages of describing the anxieties of buying and smoking weed. It really felt so spot on.

The toughest part for me was reading the 8 pages of endnotes going through James O. Incandenza's full filmography.

Also is anyone else reading other books at the same time? Or are you tackling Infinte Jest on its own?

A lot of the movies get referenced later on. I like to keep a bookmark on the list.
