Some of you may have heard of this already, and others of you might be interested. People all over the country (and perhaps the world) are doing something you've been meaning to do for over a decade: READ INFINITE JEST. At the website www.infinitesummer.org, there will be a moderated discussion board where everyone can discuss the book. They even have it broken down for you: June 21st to September 22nd. A thousand pages (and lots of footnotes) ÷ 93 days = 75 pages a week. No Sweat.At Skylight, we aren't going to be able lead a monthly book club for this, but we would like to support any of you who decide to participate. SO, mention "Infinite Summer" when you buy Infinite Jest at Skylight, and we'll give you a 15% book club discount. We will offer the store as a meeting place at some point in the middle (Late July? Early August?) so you can meet others in LA who are plowing through like you are. AND at the end, because heaven knows you all will deserve it, we will throw a party to celebrate Infinite Jest and your accomplishment. On September 22nd, there will be bubbly, there will be discounts, and good times will be had by all.
If you're participating in Infinite Summer, please let us know by e-mailing our book clubs coordinator, Emily. Let her know how we can help. And she'll tell you details on the gatherings. emily@skylightbooks.com
