I’ve read infinite jest and really liked it. Or at least told myself I did.

What I really loved, though, is his article for Gourmet, “Consider The Lobster”

In which he turns what was supposed to be a journalistic coverage of a lobster festival into a philosophical debate on the ability for simpler organisms to feel pain and fear.

Infinite jest.

I’m still not sure I understand it, but it was a wild ride.
