Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
5.0
Good lord, what a ride! I loved every page and have not worked this hard to read something new since grad school.
I must say that I am a little bit frustrated with parts of the story that seem to have not been tied off, but that's post-modernism for you. I can't complain too much. Also, I will probably have to revisit this one already having the structure of the book floating around in my brain.
If you like absurd, existentially fraught stories, deft control of language, dry humor, or feeling like a boss for finishing a Very Hard Book that weighs in at over 1000 pages, then this bad boy is for you.
Highly recommended!
