Any fans of Infinite Jest (1996)? (self.books)

Title is a bit redundant; I can't see how anybody could read the book and not come away as a fan, but I'm just wondering if there's anyone on Lemmy who's read it.

What do you think? I'd love to meet some other fans of DFW.

I've read it three times now. First time I didn't get how things were connected, or that the ghost of Himself was in the picture. Second time I tried to pay attention to the timeline and the purpose of the Entertainment. Third time it started to come together.
