That said, I'm literally halfway through Infinite Jest right now, and for all the talk comparing Franzen and Wallace, DFW is just on a different plane. And DFW's essays...have you read Tense Present, his essay on the dictionary wars?Evan Catenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402727297683528521.post-36885308103141662142011-08-06T18:04:10.679-07:002011-08-06T18:04:10.679-07:00Pynchon's read Joyce :-)Pynchon's read Joyce :-)Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17535582396311416028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402727297683528521.post-1824793309463624142011-02-23T17:00:37.755-08:002011-02-23T17:00:37.755-08:00I think when you put "I Want to Be Well"...I think when you put "I Want to Be Well" at number 1, you meant to put your blog on Tumblr so I would read it.Nichttp://heyimnic.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402727297683528521.post-75976677331789389422011-01-03T07:25:48.392-08:002011-01-03T07:25:48.392-08:00I think when you put "You're Going Back&q...I think when you put "You're Going Back" by TMOE at number 15, you meant to put "Drying of the Lawns" by TMOE at number 2.kylejacobritterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511571797796379224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402727297683528521.post-42909422824419865182010-12-31T07:11:11.532-08:002010-12-31T07:11:11.532-08:00Looks like 2011 has the potential to be as good as...Looks like 2011 has the potential to be as good as 2010 if not better!Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17535582396311416028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402727297683528521.post-50104362501612039552010-12-27T00:41:06.434-08:002010-12-27T00:41:06.434-08:00Brad-
