I do things like get in a taxi and say, "The library, and step on it."

Why does every board on this site essentially post the same nonsense?

>"The feed, and sneed on it."

Remember that episode in HIMYM in which Marshall dresses like him for Halloween but no one gets it and he gets frustrated?

infinite jest will probably feel like an objective downgrade next to pynchon. however i reccomend barth.

Imagine if the cab driver said:" Why? Those books aren't going anywhere." And you didn't have a comeback haha

its our culture fuck you

>culture

What you growing? Dung beetles?

Woah

>I've got a need. A need, to leaf.

Like leaf through the pages

>Urine trouble? Urine luck!

what does any of this mean?

its honestly strange how similar dfw and john greens faces are

only person i knew who read this book was some black guy who kept it on the toilet
i asked him about it after he finished it, and all he could say was "huh huh huh, it's just, man, huh huh huh"
don't think i'm going to ever read this. it's just for people who use it to build social capital.

>our
>actually identifying yourself as a 4channeler
yiiiiiiiiikes

brain damage

but for serial I think he's just saying that VR in the future can be psychologically helpful to people who have things bottled up, they can release them in a virtual environment rather than in the real world

I unironically read it and enjoyed it AMA

This shit is so fucking stupid. Women care about this sort of stuff too. Seriously try telling a girl you have slept with tons of different women and see how pleased she is.

>you don't read therefore no one does
no

they came from the same clone tanks to furnish the plebs with some distractions

>drinking wine in Olympic women's locker room
>not drinking their concentrated sweat and used bathwater
Thinking too small there

>it's just for people who use it to build social capital.
I've read and disliked and never talked about it with anyone.

>audience pussy

I wish I hung out with the people you do, I only know one person that's read it or is even aware it exists

How many is too many you think? 45 chicks here at 30

>Foster Wallace, a complicated guy Franzen knew so well he once signed one of his books to Franzen by tracing “the outline of an erection so huge that it ran off the page, annotated with a little arrow and the remark ‘scale 100%.’”

He played him in a movie

>well I had sex with your wife!
Got em

I've read the first 600 pages 4, maybe 5 times. That has to count for something.

>Irony and cynicism were just what the U.S. hypocrisy of the fifties and sixties called for. That’s what made the early postmodernists great artists. The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates.
>The virtuous always triumph? Ward Cleaver is the prototypical fifties father? "Sure." Sarcasm, parody, absurdism and irony are great ways to strip off stuff’s mask and show the unpleasant reality behind it. The problem is that once the rules of art are debunked, and once the unpleasant realities the irony diagnoses are revealed and diagnosed, "then" what do we do? >Irony’s useful for debunking illusions, but most of the illusion-debunking in the U.S. has now been done and redone. Once everybody knows that equality of opportunity is bunk and Mike Brady’s bunk and Just Say No is bunk, now what do we do? All we seem to want to do is keep ridiculing the stuff. Postmodern irony and cynicism’s become an end in itself, a measure of hip sophistication and literary savvy.
>Few artists dare to try to talk about ways of working toward redeeming what’s wrong, because they’ll look sentimental and naive to all the weary ironists. Irony’s gone from liberating to enslaving. There’s some great essay somewhere that has a line about irony being the song of the prisoner who’s come to love his cage.

This is dumb. Access to TV, porn and video games has made people ultra passive watchers everything is spectacle with no real relation to the actual experience even when the player is the preparator.

Reminder that he stalked and sexually abused Mary Karr and threatened to kill her husband

She'd probably be mad at me for lying
