Really? David Foster Wallace?
I have read one thing by David Foster Wallace: Infinite Jest, which I bought at a half-price bookstore sometime in college because I thought it looked funny, which I discovered early in the reading process was considered Important, and which I finished reading - all 981 pages - only because I had too much pride to let the damn thing get the best of me. As a result, all I really remember about it is that it concerned a tennis academy and some sort of evil addictive video tape, and that it was such a painful slog to finish it, even excusing myself from nearly 100 pages of end notes. Refreshing my memory with the aid of Wikipedia leads me to believe that it may also have been, at least in parts, as funny as I originally hoped.
Interestingly, while the initial analysis was performed on my last four or five blog posts, I also ran through a couple paragraphs of the last situation report I wrote for OFDA and got the exact same result. David Foster Wallace writes like a government bureaucrat, and so do I.
