I've read Infinite Jest, all the essays in Consider the Lobster, and The Pale King. At the time I was reading Infinite Jest I was smoking a lot of weed and I became so paranoid that everyone's speech was derived from the media they consumed that I stopped watching movies and tv and I also tried to speak without reference to media. I've since recovered and can now watch the X-Files without any trouble.

Idiot. Idiot. Why would you skip Leonard Stecyk?

No I will tell you to read The Pale King by David Foster Wallace.

Ok /lit/, I'm thinking of ending all my emails with:
And but so,
[my name]

Or adding after my signature:
I survived Leonard Stecyk's 11th birthday blowout bash.

Should I do both? Also what are /lit/ ways to end an email?

i just want you all to know that after weeks of prolific shitposting here i just actually unironically read an actual book for the first time since high school
i know, i know, you're all probably shocked and envious, but i really must thank the good influence this board has had on me, without that i could never have done it

>The atmosphere’s the same at a lot of rural Midwest public events. It’s not like if a black person came in he’d be ill-treated; it’s more like it would just never occur to a black person to come in Here.
>I’m newly and unpleasantly conscious of being an American, the same way I’m always suddenly conscious of being white every time I’m around a lot of nonwhite people. I cannot help imagining us as we appear to them, the impassive Jamaicans and Mexicans, or especially to the non-Aryan preterite crew of the Nadir.
>”Spiderman be dope.” DFW: Winston also sometimes seemed to suffer from the verbal delusion that he was an urban black male.
