Small suggestion from a DFW fan, read the extremely brief book This Is Water, and then try to take on Infinite Jest - just make sure to read the foreword by Dave Eggers before you start, it will light a guiding torch for the journey and what to expect coming out of it.
Would like to read but I dont know math.
I am also too addicted. I have had a book on my shelf for 2 years unread.
I listen to 1h of audio book and I love it and then I stop and loose the plot.
oh well.
