I just wanted to reply to let you know how much I enjoyed this comment. Infinite Jest is one of my favorite books, and it’s been a few years since I read it. Your comment really brought me back to some of my favorite moments from the book and reminded me of how much I loved it.

My wife is also a huge fan, and we had a nice discussion over coffee this morning talking about the parts of the book you referenced in your bullet points. There’s really no one like DFW for diversity of style, and his sense of humor resonates so strongly with me that I often find myself laughing out loud while reading his books and essays.

Anyway, thanks for the great comment. Maybe it’s time to give Infinite Jest a reread!
