I went through a DFW kick a while back. I read Infinite Jest, Girl with Curious Hair, and Broom of the System. I really liked them all. My favorite, though, is A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. I really, really liked that collection of essays. Of course, I really, really liked IJ as well.

I picked up Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and couldn't really get into it. That sort of ended my DFW kick. Winter is here, though, and his writing goes well with winter. I may have to pick him up again.
