Not the story - the actual tomes. I want to read Infinite Jest for the fourth time, but my pic related copy has lost its cover and the big white edition isn’t doing much better. So I’m wondering if the hardbacks have the same problem of disintegrating upon one read or if it’ll hold up.
Anyone else want to read IJ for the summer?

I got the paperback from a public library, I'm sure it's checked out all the time.
Had some of those plastic library binding reinforcements and a sort of lamination over the covers and it was doing fine, I'm sure you can do something like that for your book.

my ex-gf read like 400 pages of it (i bought her it after i read it on an ebook and she read 400 pages in 10 months then we broke up) and it was in absolute tatters when i got it back.
