On Infinite Jest
The first ten pages of this book are remarkable. The first 100 pages are very good (if sometimes frustrating) but the first ten are amazing, and he deliberately put them there, right at the front, in order to make you a promise. He could have just said this: Listen up. I have a freaking great story to tell you.
This is the final push that I needed to finally read this book. Or at least try.

I’m feeling the same way, all the infinite summer stuff is proving irresistible.
