Yeah, never read this in school. Anyways, it was ok. Didn't enjoy all the trivial day-to-day shit (I know, its a diary, w/e) but overall it gave a good idea of what it was like back then, hiding constantly.

Some of the stuff here I have read about before, but this is still great. Every American should be forced to read Chomsky

It's part of my degree but I'd also highly recommend them to anyone with an interest in drama or literature.

Admittedly, it's a tough read with endless sentences, complex structures and a huge variety of words. But it just feels so genius as it's unmatched in precise descriptions of almost everything. Many articles stated that this was the thing Hemingway demanded when talking of "reconquest of the full vocabulary".
It's the most pleasant read for me I ever had just for the sake of admiration for David Foster Wallace' use of language.
I recommend his Wikiquotes page: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/David_Foster_Wallace
I think the examples chosen from Infinite Jest don't represent it well at all and most of them are really the worst kind of quotes you'll find in it. Rather look at the extracts from essays and speeches further below, they're great!

German/literature class really influenced me by the theory that most social issues come, because poorly educated people are unable to express themselves. In this way this book might be a small contribution to improve people's live by showing them how to express things with maximum precision.
When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She laughed extremely hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove home alone, staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces.

Just came out about a month ago. This book follows up on the article written by Wired a few years back and adds a little bit more depth to the people involved.

The book adds more color to Max's personality, the dual nature of his black/white hat hacking in his life, and the other characters involved with the crimes he commits online. His story is related to the recent TJX bust that happened not too long ago as well (expanded on at the end).

Kevin Poulsen writes simple enough for anybody not versed in the technical side of computer exploitation to understand, and tells the story as best as he could without adding fake conversations (it pisses me off that a lot of potentially good books are ruined because the author feels compelled to make up conversations between people)... the story itself is good enough to keep you hooked.

Anybody with the slightest interest in personal security, hacking, heists, forgery, cat-and-mouse between USA government agencies and hackers, etc ought to take a look at this.

For school, really dislike it so far. Although it is much more humorous than other Shakespeare I've had to read, it is so complex that I am dreading impending tests...

Finally a book for personal enjoyment. Really love this book, so well thought out and intelligent.

Finally getting around to reading this. I loved Sharp Objects. Loving this so far as well. Recommend them both.

Reading both of these I'll probably read the "Rights of Man" as well. Paine is actually very enjoyable to read.
I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless.

It's really interesting. Some things he says are really insightful and some things are just ridiculous. You never know what end of the spectrum you will get page to page.

I haven't been particularly impressed with this one so far.
