/lit/ - Literature

Join your fellow /lit/izens this February in reading (or re-reading) David Foster Wallace's posthumously published novel of American ennui and tax codes, The Pale King.
As of today, we're officially on week one of the group read (Sections 1-9) so until we reach week 2 (February 24) please try to limit discussion to content in those specific sections of the book. I know some people read at a pace that allows them to devour a book like TPK in short order, but limiting discourse to the specified sections will hopefully assist in more in-depth discussion, as well as better allow those who are following the reading schedule more closely (whether out of choice or necessity) to participate.

Strawpoll to see where everyone who wants to read along is in terms of their experience with David Foster Wallace (mostly just for fun now seeing as it was originally supposed to gauge interest):
