This is an amazing TED talk:

Infinite Summer

I've decided to join the Infinite Summer in reading David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.

It tickles me that Amazon lists this book with a suggestion to buy another title: "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments", which at first looks like it's a review or criticism of reading the gargantuan Infinite Jest, a jibe at the countless people dedicating their precious summer hours to reading such a moster, until one notices that it's yet another book by Wallace--then one, having read Wallace before, may realize that it still could be a criticism of Infinite Jest because Wallace is just that kind of self-referential, metaphorical-abstract-rhetoric nut. Sadly, he didn't take the opportunity to deconstruct himself in such an awesomely titled collection while he had the chance.
