I’m in love with this project – thousands of readers joining virtually to read one of the greatest (and most imposing) novels of our time. Not only am I on board, but I am writing participation and encouraging my readers to get on board as well.

I blogged about IS on June 21. I am not participating in the Big Read during baseball season, but will go ahead with my 2nd complete read --I've read many sections dozens of times -- in November YDAU.

Coinicidentally, I started re-reading IJ even before the summer. I blogged about it back in April, but, because I have been taking the book out of the library (where it has quite a few holds because interest in DFW was rekindled after his death), I've beem having to return it and re-take it out and return it and re-take it out ... Upshot: here it is June and I'm on page 720. I'm picking up a lot more the second time, though.
