<< IJ was worth the effort for me, but the short stories in Wallace's "Girl 
with Curious Hair" are really marvelous.   >>

I'm not a big fan of anything else he's written, but I read IJ a number of 
years ago and liked it a lot.  Far better than Broom of the System.  It's easy 
to read a lot of it's funny and not in the arch, ironic, and self-conscious way 
he seeks to be funny in his shorter stuff. And I thought the AA sections were 
particularly good.
