Why try to fit a masterful and large work of literature like Infinite Jest into one month?

Comprehending it at your own pace would be much more gratifying and useful.

@Korpliw The idea wasn't to rush to finish Infinite Jest, it was to motivate myself to keep reading. It didn't work anyway. I still haven't finished the book.

I went to camp for the first time in years at which I experienced a lot of awesome firsts; lots of parties; my first drive-in movie and concert!

But there were some videos I planned to make I never got around to; I planned to go hiking, but my friends and I couldn't organize it; I read, but didn't finish Hocus Pocus, so I have yet to start all the other books I wanted to read; I wanted to do some of those LTLYM assignments, but I think I'm going to have to do them Labor day weekend if I can

"Wow... that's a LOOOT of pages."

My thoughts exactly.
