...and the city

"By a singular logic, the amorous subject perceives the other as a Whole (in the fashion of Paris on an autumn afternoon), and, at the same time, this Whole seems to him to involve a remainder, which he cannot express." - Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments

Um, yeah, Infinite Jest is incredible if you have the patience-it's 1200 pages, of which about 400 are footnotes and endnotes you have to reference while reading the narrative. His non-fiction is great. Also, Oblivion--his collection of "short stories" is fantastic. Really, any of it is good. Maybe start with the collection I gave Mike, see what you think. Then dive into IJ.
