As for a discussion thread wasn't there a MB book club mega-thread a long time ago?

There was but I only want to talk about Infinite Jest.
And, selfishly, I want some motivation to finish it.
Those other authors I mentioned are certainly not prerequisites for reading Wallace. IJ is actually a very interesting, gripping read although sometimes you have to deal with 50 or so pages of one character's inner thoughts. I really hope you go for it.
