Infinite Test of Patience

It's a bit above a theory, it just kind of confirms the structure of the plot that DFW has said is there.

So I'm up to page like 300. Does it get any better or is it just more rare moments of 'oh that's a bit funny' and 'that was a little bit interesting'?

If youre already gassed just stop now, youll never get through the eschaton chapters

I think you have just saved my life

>you are implying I'm some kind of pseud???
No. The non linearity of the plot makes it hard to piece together the overarching story structure and, how all the characters end up connecting and contributing to the plot. DFW leaves out a lot of key parts to the plot, but they can be inferred once you read the whole book. If you really want to understand it on your own, you would have to make a timeline with major plot events. But that would require going back through the book again. I honestly doubt anyone knew what the majority of the plot was after their first read. Yet, the book is written in such a way it begs an immediate rereading to sort it all out.

Eschaton was honestly the most interesting part of the book. Especially when everything goes to chaos. It's sad and funny to think of that kid's head stuck in a computer monitor

>this is the state of Veeky Forums
>kids are now too fucking impatient and stupid to even finish Infinite Jest, which is just extremely high quality YA fiction
