I am about 1/4th through, and it's interesting to see how connected this is with Cosmere, unlike the first 3 books. I think this book should be read after you have read at least 1 book of The Stormlight Archive. Looking forward to seeing if we learn anything else in it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

More than 900 pages into Infinite Jest but i m not sure i like it... Started The Confederacy of Dunces on the side, really funny so far !

Infinite Jest is a challenge for sure, but I love it.

A great resource for explanations, discussion and theories is the Infinite Summer forum. I'm not sure how active it still is (it was started in 2009) but there's some great stuff there, especially the weekly read along threads, where people discuss about 30-40 pages at a time.

I recently got the book, bookmarking the link for whenever I get around to reading it.

Cool, hope it's useful. Speaking of bookmarks - for IJ you're probably going to need at least 2, and safer with 3. There'll be some back and forth... 😁
