You see how fucking stupid everyone is now these day? It's especially worse when you consider we have computers in our pockets that have all the books ever written

95%. Only other work is the editor (forget his name sadly) who pieced all the different parts together. Besides minor changes for sake of continuity, its all Wallace's writing.

Reading "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never do Again" right now.

On the David Lynch essay at the moment. Wallace has a way with words and building intriguing characters, themes and worlds even in nonfiction settings. He was so talented. RIP you glorious edgelors, I dread the day I have read all your work.

The only move to r/books he would make would be an ironic one, so you are incorrect
