I have a feeling that it may be difficult to get back into it, but I'm enjoying it and want to get to page 200, at least. I'm tickled that some footnotes have footnotes.

But I'm also leery of buying IJ on the chance I wasn't able to keep up with it, and then would have it sitting there mocking me for years to come. And with a book this size (and the allotted pace) it doesn't seem like this is going to be conducive to a library loan either!

Later: just finished it. Leave it to DFW to have a dense, multi-page end note chock full of what I'm sure will be important info, plus little bits of irony and humor sprinkled throughout, like a film version of the conversationalist chapter, or how many of the films center on love triangles and unfaithful wives. Reading endnotes with kids around takes the challenge of reading IJ to a whole new level. It’s the very next one, and I’m kind of dreading it. Later: just finished it.
