What am I in for? How should I prepare? I don't ususally take notes when reading fiction but is it necessary here?

The page-by-page annotations are like a necessity to read the the book. Trust me. Other than that, it's not difficult to read. You get used to the book after a hundred pages or so.
If you haven't yet, scrub YouTube for DFW interview. They are very insightful.
I would also suggest at least a synoptic knowledge of Hamlet.

You don't need notes, most references are pop culture and explained in the book. The first chapter is an intentionally opaque stream of consciousness but most people quit in a subsequent bit about a monomaniac drug addict waiting for his fix. It expresses monomania by being long and repetitive. So all you really need is patience. It has a lot of excellent passages.
