Finished A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again recently except for the David Lynch essay, want to watch the movie first. First foray into DFW, I like his writing style so far. Started Meditations on First Philosophy, getting through it very slowly. Listened to the first two Murderbot books, liked them more the further in I got. Second I thought was better than the first. About to start listening to Jade Legacy. Not the biggest fan of this series, but since I'm listening and not reading (helps with a long commute) I figured I'll just wrap up the series.
I read another smettono of Wallace’s essays, that included A Supposedly Fun Thing. It totally got me hooked on Wallace, absolutely amazing writer.
I enjoyed A Supposedly Fun Thing when I read it a long time ago, even though essays aren't normally my thing. I didn't know who David Lynch was at the time; I might have to go back and read that one (and watch the movie)!
I'm not normally an essay reader myself, but since reading this I'm trying to find magazines/other publications that release this type of writing. He had me captivated about the different types of tennis techniques that various players use, when I've never given tennis more thought then "get it over the net."
