holy fuck I could go on forever. it is YA my senpai.

I would like to know how this isn't YA

I'd say the target age for IJ is about 15-60, which would make it not YA.

I just started going on Veeky Forums like a week ago and bought this book.

what is "YA"

oh, young adult, I guess

It's bad enough to be

no its not you fucking retard

Where can I find a copy with this cover in the UK that isn't a badillion zillion pounds

honestly that version isn't that heavy. I feel like the hardcover would be worse. just get it.

Contrary to your next response, it actually achieves something and isn't as shallow as YA.

He's British.......

He meant the currency..........

>over achieving

Jesus what the fuck is wrong with this board

This board is full of fucking retards

Can this "I Read To Feed My Ego" bullshit end, please?

Find some fucking meaning, you bitter shitheads.

Infinite Jest is actually a really good book. I've read it in its entirety.

>retarded younger brother
Hal isn't retarded moron

Kek

Young adults don't have the attention span to read it

I agree.

Mario dumbass, have you even read it?

mario's a year older than hal dumbass

haha

So I'm like 30 pages into this. Is IJ like the original greentext story? Because the style is eerily similar.

Also, is DFW autistic?

its YA in the sense that its for edgy autistic 20-25 year olds with zero real life experience but have done weed twice.

Oh god it's literally about me isn't it

In a literal sense yes, in the same way that dudes like Kerouac are YA lit (although kerouac's readers are less undergrad and more edgy high schoolers)

You're a fucking idiot.

I can't believe people think like this unironically.

*tokes your weed* Not bad kid

It was written with the conception of reading like a fractal. The story's was not to made to make you comfortable as a reader, but to become a form in and of itself.

Anyways, that might explain the jumpiness and greentextieness in some places. DFW knows what he's doing, he's just doing it on purpose.

I have never read DFW but I fucking hate that book from what I've heard on Veeky Forums and because of that I'll never, ever even consider reading it.

I hope you have achieved your goal.

prove me wrong faggot, you literally cannot

>done weed
It sounds like you know a lot about these things

Should I smoke weed while I read infinite jest?

>from what I've heard on Veeky Forums

Nice comma splice, you fucking idiot.

Go outside and quit getting angry at dead people, you loser.
