hello!
xkcd would like to file a bug report. I second the motion.
On Infinite Jest: I have tried. I have really tried. I read 105 of 983 pages and it's still not "surprisingly readable" as the Seattle Times promises on the front cover. I'm sorry, David Foster Wallace, but I am clearly not cool enough to follow your meandering thoughts. Call me when you write something succinct. But thanks for reminding me why my favourite book (Holy the Firm, Annie Dillard) astounds me with its depth and complexity in only 73 pages. Haven't you noticed that every great author advises to cut, cut, and cut some more?
