First Read Without Too Much Thojught

[Erik T. Burns]

boy I would love to be young enough to be able to have read Infinite
Jest before Gravity's Rainbow.

not that I think that's the right order, just that I would like to be
young again.

FWIW I read GR first in high school and my takeaways were: bananas!
ejaculate can reveal hidden messages! some people eat shit!

in short, I loved it without any kind of any depth of understanding.

boy was I knocked off my feet though when I got to (east coast)
college and my first week i was taught how to play "Wales Tails."

it was a real thing.
