Infinite Jest is so good. I've reread the first half and am back in new territory.
Thinking Fast and Slow is also pretty good. They cited a paper saying there is no such thing as a hot streak in basketball - what we perceive as streaks are statistically random.
I think I am going to try and read Infinite Jest this Winter.
Do you have a kindle? I wish I had it on a kindle because of the end notes. Of course I have three bookmarks so it isn't too bad.
Slightly OT - should I get a kindle? I like the library because I'm cheap, but it's hard to take books like Infinite Jest with me everywhere.
So, here is the one kindle flaw. I have the HD Fire as well as an old school original. Both of them sync to the Amazon cloud acct. My smart phone does as well. The way all the devices you use to read any one book sync to the cloud is by reporting what the furthest point you have read to is. So, when you tap the end note number, it takes you to the back of the book where the end notes are. So, then you sync, and boom, Amazon cloud syncs as if you have read the entire book back to whatever that end note was making it a huge pain to pick up the smart phone and read when you find a chance. Also, usually, when you click the end note, you can read it and hit the back button to go back to where you were in the story. However, often, the back button backs you out of the book all together and not back to the correct place in the story.
Then, guess what, you open the book back up again, and it acts like you have read they whole damn thing and takes you to the middle of the end notes. You end up having to remember what page or "location" you end at every time you stop reading then tell the next device you happen to pick the book back up on what page or location to go to.
Not a huge deal, just a little bit of a pain in the ass. Especially on big books.
