Infinite Jest, Pandora's Star

It's a long while since I last posted, but it'll be even longer till I write anything substantive.

Since I last wrote, I've been wrapped up in Infinite Jest, which is insanely long, clocking in at 1000 oversized pages in small type. I've also been listening to Peter F. Hamilton's Pandora's Star, which clocks in at a mammoth 40 hours.

Both are enjoyable in their own ways, and each one feels like it wouldn't be easy to trim substantially. (That is, I can see cutting some pieces I don't like, but not even 10%)
