Tennis, Trigonometry, Tornadoes: A Midwestern boyhood by David Foster Wallace 

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I'll try to be that community!

that is quite the compliment for a guy who enjoys complaining

Thank so much for listening! was from the original article published in Harpers magazine, and I just checked and it said the illustration is by Caty Batholomew. It’s very cool!

@@ludwigwittgenstein2422 why are you so miserable?

Excuse me, please, Pallettown. I apologize for maybe charging too fast. Anyway, your readings have brought me a lot of listening pleasure, not only your voice and the way you read, but also I grew up in Galesburg Illinois, and was of a 'tennis family'. And I am passionate about growing up Illinois. So, this is maybe a sensitive question: who holds the copyright to this material, please? I don't see any acknowledgement that DFW died of suicide in 2011. What's going on in academia? I have been out of the loop, not under a rock. Actually was nine years active duty Army and Army Guards of Alaska and Georgia. Thanks in advance. - JC. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Foster_Wallace

@@johnnycreighton29 He died in 2008. Says so right in the Wikipedia entry you linked. As if his suicide were the most important or interesting thing about him.

Thank you! It's not intentional.

just realised why that scene felt so familiar when i got to it in IJ

I had supreme deja vu when I got to that part: "Did RU-vid just spasmodically switch to the IJ audiobook?"

Thanks so much! It means a lot. I’m planning on uploading another DFW essay this weekend, and plan to do more in the future. Stay tuned :)
