Looking back at my last entry on this goal, I have to say that The Doc of the past was a little over-ambitious. After today (which was supposed to be a day spent reading, but wasn’t), I am now 211 pages into Infinite Jest, and it is still challenging at times, but I think I’m getting into the flow a little more. There are some bits that are nearly painful to read, but other sections that flow and really work for me. So 211 pages in (plus a handful of pages of footnotes) means I’m roughly 20% done. That’s not terrible progress, actually. The real challenge will be to see if I pick it up again some time this week…
