– Infinite Jest, page 157 (via themadeshop)
Never will get tired of reading this novel. I just open it most days and read like two paragraphs (or a footnote) and then the day just feels more interesting…

Monsterbeard: How to read Infinite Jest
How to read Infinite Jest
Here is how you read Infinite Jest. Feel the weight in your hand. Stare at the blue-sky-with-white-clouds cover. Get used to the shape and size in your bag.
This is where you put your two bookmarks. This is how you flip pages back and forth. Practice stopping at the end of sentences to go and read the endnotes. Practice putting bookmark A back in place for the...
