I've done. I've done. Now it seems a bit absurd what I was scared shitless before starting it. There was no reason to be afraid. It took 30 days to read it, at a rate of about 40 pages per day. Affordable is a company within the human resources. Certainly if I had not been Complete Holiday had taken much longer to read. It is also true that it takes a very high dose of patience. It is also true that has been one of my biggest challenges as a reader. But you can get perfectly, although you have to read a parrafón mentalizarte about a character who takes 500 pages to reappear and to find facts that will be meaningless until 300 pages later, you also have to deal of patience because there is no line argument because there are visible and last paragraphs and pages and pages of prayers that last paragraph, and you have to be minding that will not answer questions.
I would recommend to anyone who dares to read it do not worry about where you go to stop the thing and try to enjoy the ride. In my case I was hooked as soon as I fondly by many characters and it is hilarious, with a delicious black humor and grotesque. But it is very sad. And this is what makes it so great. I have been a lot of unanswered questions and I will have to reread it someday. As soon as you can. It is a novel about addiction as addictive. Is a novel that involves you and all the while that you feel you are reading together, although you are reading alone. Is a novel about characters liabilities invites you to an active reading. In fact I am not sure is a novel. Because it has no beginning or end. It really could be endless. It is not a history nor a collection of characters and / or scenes is a world. It is one of the best books I've read. It is one of the best experiences in my life as a reader. Probably no one would find it perfect as a novel but is a perfect experience. Almost like hallucinogenic experience. I've never felt that the intention of David Foster Wallace was bragging as happens in many of these novels larger than life but is primarily intended to entertain, make you laugh but also make you feel less alone seeing that all the characters are alone.
Tomorrow (or past) write another entry trying to analyze specific aspects of the novel. At the moment this is only an entry celebration. But there remains a bitter victory because I'm very sad because it's over and I'll never know what happened to Hal Incandenza, and Don Gatelly, and Michael Pemulis, or what happened to James and Avril Incandenza Incandenza. I will never know anything about these characters, of which I know everything and know nothing. Actually I had never been so sad to have finished a book. Try to see if I can better manage my thoughts and my ideas are still very confused and see if I find any answers to thousands of questions left in the air. And let I think it clear that many questions remain unanswered, that is to finish a novel that will leave a good time thinking that it is a book that will allow it to investigate both, is a great virtue.

aside, this experience has made me gain an unlimited confinza myself as a reader. Now I am able to finish 'Moby Dick' and 'Anna Karenina' and all that is me out in front. But in particular, I am able to finish other work that someone named as hysterical realism, as the 'Mason and Dixon "by Thomas Pynchon, and even' The life and opinions of Tristram Shandy 'Laurence Sterne, though I have denied countless times in this book the past. But it probably still will because I have no time. My reading plan now is to spend a week or ten days to read short books (now I've started 'Arcadia' by Tom Stoppard and the second línia deris I was already starting) and then two weeks to read the soap opera 'The Maia 'Eça de Queiroz, who has nearly 800 pages but that will be classic nineteenth faster and easier to read than "Infinite Jest." And then it's because it will be September, and will be completed vacation and my future is very uncertain.
