Good writing

It does get better, but I've already had to recalibrate my expectations.
Recalibrate in what way?

I still haven't read infinite jest, but I plan to sometime in the future. I really enjoy his essays and interviews though. I read "Consider the Lobster" off the recommendation of my freshman English professor when I was writing an essay about c&r fishing mortality, and it really gave me a lot to think about at the time.

it's a giant novel, and I'm not a speed reader and I'm only a few hours in. But so far the introduction is quite accurate. It's not an easy read. I'm not sure, in fact I'm certain, I'm missing things already. Definitely not easy to track characters.

Understandable for sure, I have heard that it can get pretty convoluted. It really is a bit daunting, as someone who hasn't been reading as often I would like. I feel like it would take me months to get through it at the pace I have been reading at lately.

I'm shooting for 4-5 months
