I was going to throw this out there as well. But like you, it's likely my own failure. If it's a failure to want to hurl books that feature stream-of-consciousness narrations that go on for longer than a paragraph or two, that is!
Hell, I get twitchy when whole pages in are in italics. All that implied emphasis just keeps mounting in the form of a visual crescendo with no end in site. Anxiety ensues!!
Probably just me.
I did find moments of enjoyment in
Infinite Jest, though. Just not enough for me to say I "enjoyed" the whole book.
