I currently read The Pale King of DFW he committed suicide while working on it. And I fucking love it. I don't read all chapters because some only have the function to simulate boredom. I know I am a faker for doing that. But some chapters can be seen as standalone chapters. And I read the long chapters with 50-120 pages. And there were brilliant chapters. I love the current exchange so fucking much.
I am not a good reader. I tend to ruminate way too much during reading but at least I can get new ideas for threads by doing that. David was a great observer, his knowledge of technical terms is mind boggling and very impressive. He had such a witty poignant humor. His humor is not the kind of humor you see in bullshit TV shows. It feels different way deeper and sometimes it can really touch my soul and I can relate to it. DFW fought with his demons, his pain, his neuroticitism, his anxiety and his fears. I can relate so fucking much. His literature really comforts me by not feeling that alone anymore.
The genre is not that important to me. I might reach a level where I read all of his texts in 2-3 years in case I live that long. Do you have a recommendation of books or authors that have a similar experience? Usually I am too lazy for reading because I need something that stimulates me more (As distraction of my mental agony). But hell reading DFW gives me so fucking much. It is perfect for my holidays to give my fixation on politics a break. His texts also contain philosophical questions which has an allure too. He is a good antidote for the modern internet addiction Zeitgeist.
I don't read enough to perfectly describe the experience of reading DFW but others might have good recommendations for me. Hopefully.
