Pat should imitate a particular aspect of Wallace's life, and I ain't talking the faggy bandana

He means the playing tennis part, so Fat can lose weight.
Or the hanging. One of the two.

I'd love to see a certain someone hang themself, but then the weight brings down the entire abandoned warehouse.

Rumor has it that The USS Millicent Kent is based on Fat Pat.

Not sure how DFW is anything like Pat. He shied away from social media, and wrote well enough to get a MacArthur grant and wrote an amazing book with that money that's still in print. You may not like him, but Infinite Jest is an incredible feat of literature.
Pat came up with Fonald Plump.

I understand many people don't like him, but he has such an appreciation for the English language that, as "an actual professional writer," I admire.

He was wrong about "posterior" vs "prior". Makes him look like a bit of a fuck.

Do you feel like arguing why Infinite Jest is worth the time it takes to read? I get it if you don't want to do it. There always might be eye-rolling faggots around on the internet.

I can't argue it's worth the time. The story is weird (tennis kids in a private school, overcoming addiction, Canadian separatism) and there are tons of moments that are slogs (not to mention the fucking endnotes), but I enjoyed it. It's very funny but at times feels like it's intentionally hard to grasp.
Wouldn't say it's in my top 20 favorite novels, but sometimes I'll pick it up and read a random passage. I don't do that with many other books.
Give some of his essays a chance, especially the county fair and cruise ship ones.
