Found Today
At a thrift store today, I came across a first printing of
David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest in fine condition with the first state dust jacket ("Volman" not "Volmann") also in fine condition. I think it was in my hands before I even read the title. This is actually the first time I have sighted one of Foster Wallace's books. They are truly scarce. -- Francis A. Miniter Mesure is Medicine þauh þou muche ȝeor[n]e. Al nis not good to þe gost þat þe bodi lykeþ, Ne lyflode to þe licam þat leof is to þe soule. William Langland, The Vision of Piers Plowman Passus I, lines 33 - 35 |

Though I have to admit, I have yet to meet anyone who has managed to finish reading it! John |
