bookshelves: read-2016, favorites, read-2018, read-it-again
Read 2 times. Last read March 18, 2018 to March 25, 2018.
March, 2018:
On a second read, I think I got another 2-3% of it than last time. I adore this book.
January, 2016:
I really enjoyed this, but I don't completely understand it yet. I've got about 95% of it, but that last 5% I think may only come after some rereading, and maybe 20 additional years of life experience. It feels like a book you could read several times over a life and always find a different meaning. Heavily metaphorical, very philosophical, clever. Death, consumerism, fear, modern life, existentialism, nihilism, etc.

That sounds right to me. I know that Wallace and DeLillo wrote to each often. I think that DeLillo even spoke at his funeral, if I remember correctly.
