Add Infinite Jest

Set in an alternate future where North America has become one state and Quebecois radicals want to secede, the action happens at a tennis academy and a nearby halfway house in Boston, Massachusetts, this book will expand your mind with a mere attempt to read it. It's brilliant, funny, and sad, but it's also packed with interesting ideas about entertainment, addiction, self-development, being human, the civic ideal, setting and meeting expectations, family, and a whole lot more. It's also got tons of footnotes and plenty of fascinating factual asides about pharmacology, tennis, Alcoholics Anonymous, and much more.
