Michael made some Infinite Summer bookmarks with the schedule printed right on them. We were totally going to do the same thing, but whatever we would have cooked up would have looked pretty lame compared to those.
In addition to creating a Google Calendar and iCal calendar for the I.S. schedule, James also says he’ll be blogging his reading of the novel at his website.
Ralph created a Google Apps Progress Tracker. “I’m not graphic designer, obviously, so it’s very very plain right now,” he says. “But any and all suggestions welcome.”
At Infinite Zombies, five six seven writers intend to chronicle their reading of the book in a format they describe as “part book club, part Fight Club“.
Carolina created a Flickr pool. Photos are also being posted on the Facebook wall.
The Infinite Summer Ravelry group has hit 50 members. The Goodreads page has 87. The LiveJournal community continues to grow.
Bitch Ph.D says she’s on board. Marc says that, on June 21st, he’s going to turn his weblog into “my own journal of the Infinite Summer project/book club.” Kev and Emily are going to “post our gchat convos while we read infinite jest.
Katie is keeping track of her favorite DFW quotations of a Tumblelog. Someone is tweeting Infinite Jest 140 characters at a time on Twitter.
Meg is trying to talk her wedding guests into reading the novel so everyone will have something to talk about at the reception.
And here are some other folks who are talking about the project:
- Brittney of Sparkwood & 21.
- Jim of Wisdom of the West.
- Ian of The Anxiety of Influence.
- Scott of Scott Brenner.
- Colleen of Colleen Barrett.
- tlajous of pura pinche agua, who says that Infinite Summer was the inspiration for his blog.

I’m late to the game, but I blogged my fourth read-through last summer here. (The project lost some steam, understandably, after September 12.) I hope to soon post my thoughts on the prospect of reading it a fifth time and the Infinite Summer project.
