| | 1. |  | Infinite Jest
from Back Bay Books
Price: $12.23
Customer Review:
What a wonderful, terrible, brilliant, horrible, frustrating, fascinating story. Jesus wept. It's also heart-felt, humorous, whimsical, and a masterpiece. Jesus smiled.

| | 4. |  | The Broom of the System
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
David's early book titles apparently have little to do with the subject matter, much like a song from REM, whose lyrics have nothing to do with anything at all, other than they sound good. Don't expect to learn what is 'The Broom of the System' by reading this book.

| | 8. |  | Oblivion: Stories
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.19
Customer Review:
This is fiction of a style I would label A.D.D. prose: there is very little action yet we spend pages reading about dribbly insignificant details. It is easy to lose focus while reading this book. Wallace writes sublimely detailed sketches of the characters, but it is only a still life; there is no... more info
