Finished Infinite Jest. Excellent, thoughtful, frustrating. Definitely the most “now draw the rest of the owl” of books. 🤔 Now do I infinitely redigest to figure out what happened… or just read this? http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/ijend

Depends on how much you enjoyed the book! It’s nice to read it with a companion text, if you want to do a re-read. Stephen Burn’s reader’s guide is great. The book covers a lot, but if you haven’t seen Cronenberg’s Videodrome (1983), check that out. Wallace was heavily inspired by it.

Might help with understanding what Wallace was going for in the end of Infinite Jest. And Videodrome is only 89 minutes vs. the time it would take you to re-read or ponder the ending for a while.
