Readers of The Puget News may have already seen the Infinite Summer project currently being promoted by The Morning News. Basically, a large group of people are going to read “Infinite Jest” at the same time, starting June 21st and ending September 22nd. The website will be at the center of the project, hopefully hosting some interactive and dynamic discussion and fact-finding expeditions. This is a huge book but it’s also a very reasonable reading schedule amounting to about 75 pages a week.

I’m planning on taking part in the event and I’d love it of several Seattle-ites would like to come along for the ride with me, and meet up bi-weekly or monthly to discuss it in person over beers. Is anyone out there interested? If so, hit the comments and we’ll get a group going. If this works out, there are several new large works out there that I can think of that would be fun to tackle next. Cheers.
