A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll never do Again
David Foster Wallace
Don't read essay number 2 (the TV audience).
Or number 4 (literary theory).
Only read essay 5 if you know who David Lynch is/have seen his movies/don't hate him completely.
Essay number 7 was far and above my favorite (Cruise ship).
In decreasing pleasure:
Essay number 6 (Tennis match).
Essay number 3 (Illinois State Fair!).
Essay number 1 (youth tennis).
His writing has the potential to sound like a sober Hunter S. Thompson.
