Infinite Jest – David Foster Wallace discussion

(Sorry for the delay in getting to this, folks. I've been reveling in the joy of jury duty all day, leaving me even more out of the loop than usual.)

So hullo there, everyone. I have been a co-mod of this group since its inception but -- let's be honest here -- have contributed very, very little since first saying something along the lines of "Hey, wouldn't an IJ group-read be a neat idea?"

As I'm sure many of you know, both Mary and Kris have stepped down from their moderator duties; however, Kris, in an unsurprising display of her infinite capacity for fabulousness, will be a moderator again as soon as I post this. Additionally, Jason has quite graciously offered to complete our trifecta of co-mods, which is an offer I immediately took advantage of, whether he really wanted the responsibility or not. (Thanks, Kris and Jason! You guys are the bee's knees and I owe you both a drink and a toast.)

My GR activity ebbs and flows according to the needy demands of my real-life obligations (e.g., my job, which, as those of you I'm friends with know is a frequent cause for my extended absences) but I'll do my best to.... uh, do whatever it is moderators do so all the responsibility doesn't fall to one person. Is there wine involved? If there's wine, I'll be way better at this than I thought.

Anyway. Thanks for bearing with us and do carry on. I sincerely hope that those of you who have been enjoying this group will continue to do so. Those of you who have not been having a good time, please speak up and all the best efforts will be extended to you to help you better enjoy the party.


Rock on,
Madeleine

Three cheers for IJ moderators! Hip hip, hooray!

All moderators deserve wine-or any other libation-and our gratitude.

If you guys are good, I'll post a real-life picture of the Mods Trifecta mmm, maybe some time next week?

(Only if you're good, though.)

'Three Mods and an Ifer' should be the title of something epic.

How could I resist being a co-moderator with the two of you? :) Not to mention how great the group members are. :)

I am still in to the bitter end. On my 3rd time through, caudling a girlfriend through it too... Looking forward to more comments, struggles, revelations.&c.

Thank you for sharing, Madeleine.:) I've been a member for awhile, and continue to enjoy the groups enthusiasm for the book.

FYI, I will get a copy and read the mammoth this is Infinite Jest.. someday.

A round of Delaudid for the mods!

Wheeeee!
