Reading Diary – What is when where who how???
Infinite Jest is a big book. Pretty much every chapter has a new subplot and characters. Not to mention, each chapter happens in a different year. For crying out loud!! It’s taking a lot of work to make sense and keep track of everything.
But, I’ve found a system that is working for me. Timeline wise, I’ve been keeping track of everything that’s going on. I’ve been using those highlighter tabs you can buy to mark paper. I’ve been using different colors to mark off the different chapters, which indicate the different years within the book. It’s been a great way to quickly revisit information, and remember what events are happening when. Even for a less complicating book, this can be a great tip to use as you read. Just mark pages as you go for quick reference later. You’ll be all set!
One thing I love about the book are the Chapter titles. “Year of the Trial Sized Dove Bar” Amazing!
