I did find that on the second read it revealed a lot more, but jesus how much of anyone's life can someone spend reading this one book

Well, I did it! It took over 4 months, but I finished Infinite Jest. *takes bow*

This Radio 4 doc has too many spoilers imho to be an intro, but is absolutely perfect when you’ve just gotten to the end of the book and are reeling from it, and beginning to try to get your head around it πŸ‘Œ

Fuck your ChatGPT, if I want to see a caricature of myself I will make the effort to go to the seaside and pay Β£15 for a cruel man to give me body dysmorphia like we’ve always done.

My old teacher Philippe Gaulier has died. I learnt an awful lot at his school, going there changed my life, and I remain terrified of him to this day. RIP.

Whenever I log on I have 30+ new follows from accounts with no posts and no followers. It's... fine I guess but a bit weird.

I have thousands and thousands of followers who seem completely made up. How do I stop this? (I realise this will largely be read by made up followers)

The prize is a real monkey's paw. The last part of the book is extraordinary imo, but if you tell anyone about it then you're cursed with having become the type of person who recommends Infinite Jest

Oh wow, thanks. That seems almost like a prank

I'm doing this show for the first time in 5 months today at #LeicesterComedyFestival before lots of London show and then a tour.

Annoyingly @herring1967.bsky.social and Stephen Fry are on at the same time and are stealing all my nerds

Sorry to butt in - can I ask how does the audiobook deal with the endnotes? Just out of curiosity

Still unreasonably proud of "it's a bit of an un-read flag"

Seems like a good time to reshare my Radio Four Infinite Jest documentary. We tried to make it so it gives you a decent idea whether or not you'd like the book.

A Dutch term for someone who acts tough but is actually a coward is held op sokken. It means β€œhero on socks.” The phrase originally referred to when, during a confrontation, a phoney tough guy would ditch their noisy clogs so they could retreat quietly in just their socks.
