All three of those books have their flaws but I enjoy the style and page turning nature of them a lot.

It's wonderful sci-fi written on a grand scale, and made all the more interesting and refreshing to me by coming from outside the Western perspective.

I'm having the hardest time getting momentum on Infinite Jest. I think partly due to the fact that I personally only have some vague idea of what I'm getting myself into.

It's one of a trilogy: The Dark Forest english translation is out, and Death's End is coming beginning of next year.
