OFFICIAL RESULT:

For the Summer of 2018, we will be reading Infinite Jest together.

Buckle up, strap in, and get ready for 1000 pages of love-i-or-hate-it fiction, boys.

We start next Friday, 6/15.
I will try to search for a pirated digital copy for those who hate themselves and want to read it online or just don't/won't have the book.

There will be NO DISCORD.
