Gave up on Infinite Jest after 3 months and only 400 pages, was it the book or me?
I started Infinite Jest back in March thinking I could knock it out by summer, but 3 months later I was only 400 pages in and still confused about what was even happening. The footnotes alone took me longer to get through than some whole books, and I kept having to flip back to remember who half the characters were. Did anyone else bail on this one, and did you feel bad about quitting or just relieved?
