Infinite Jest was a slog, it has taken weeks and I don't think I understood a word of it. I only got through by referring to the plot on the Wikipedia page.  I had to have a few easy reads in between for light relief.  Had a really bad week as Colin Fox passed away on Wednesday, a great guy with three young sons, and Freddie broke his wrist in the school playground. He's been in so much pain and unable to sleep, so I've been sleeping on his floor for the past few nights and am exhausted. On the plus side, the cubs won the Tug-of-War contest for the first time since 2012 and inexplicably Tottenham are in the semi-final of the Champions League
