I enjoyed Infinite Jest.

I think it's good book if you are someone who HAS to know all the details.

The book itself criticizes this way of thinking, while letting you in the all the details you could want. (the footnotes especially)

I get the sense that the writing style is a metaphor and part of it for sure.

I also really like many of the subtle ideas the book presents.

Though like many "post modern novels", it's not for everyone. If intentionally dull parts are not your thing, that's perfectly fine IMO.

Yes the writing style is def a metaphor for the book's subject and why i feel like I already get it without having to read the whole thing. 1080 pages of that does feel like infinity.
