Same here, dude. And my girlfriend sort of understand/respect my grief
when she realize that it was the end of the day and I was still in a
strange mood. It shakes me so much in such a strange and good way. I
was going to the way of abandoning literature after reading Cormac
McCarthy`s novels (kind of there`s nothing more to read absurd
feeling) and the dead of DFW just reminds me again all the power of
literature and language in transmitting profound messages and help us
to live better lives and understand the world we turns out to be in.
The sad thing is because who more will tell us this things with such
preciseness, cleverness and richness then DFW? At least we`ll always
have Infinite Jest.

Sorry for my english, this toughts just flow into my fingers right now.

It`s good to be here,

Renato
