How far did you get into 'Infinite Jest'. Did you break pg. 200? In my expeirance there seems to be this energy hump at pg. ~200, but if you can push past that it is smooth sailing till the end. (and absolutely worth it)

In particular, I remember it was the description of Hal's father effectively ending his tennis career on the court that made it impossible for me _not_ to finish--around p170 or 180.
Good tips, thanks! I definitely didn't get that far; more likely pg 100 or so. I was listening on Audible, so I guess that was the problem. Will try reading next time.
