Reader's guide to endnote numbers for the novel "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace

Image
  Page/Endnote Cross-Index for  Infinite Jest A brilliant masterpiece,  Infinite Jest  by  David Foster Wallace  is an unusually long and complex novel. It includes essential content in the form of copious endnotes: viz., 388 numbered notes placed at the end of the novel.  This index allows the reader to locate the page number where each of the book's endnote numbers appears in superscript in the main body of the novel.  This is particularly useful to those who listen to the  Hatchett Audio  audiobook, narrated by Sean Pratt, ( ISBN 9781611133868 ) because the endnotes themselves are not included. Instead, the voiced endnote number is inserted where it appears in the novel, and the reader must then consult the printed copy of the book for the endnote content.  It thus becomes useful to be able to see the endnote in context on the corresponding page; e.g.:  375: 143, 144  indicates that  endnote numbers 143 and 144  will be found on  page   375 .

Cooking Made Simple - Booklet for Jenn-Air/Maytag Ranges

This goddamn reference referred to in my Jenn-Air User Guide is completely elusive online, and I ran into a number of frustrated consumers trying to pin it down. Little did I know that it was there on the cookbook shelf with two other Jenn-Air cooking guides. Well, now the cover is on the Internet. Drop me a line, and I'll look something up for you. Broiling recommendations? Got'em. I do not remember ever seeing this before. But maybe it will help you find the copy you got when your Jenn-Air oven range was installed.

Funny how a tiny arc fragment of type  differentiates the words Icon and loon,  a thin line between  being revered and considered a nut.

What's lighter and more airy than a butterfly in flight? The answer is its shadow in a dance of golden light.

End of a Marriage

Meera announced to me on Saturday, March 1st, that the first documents for initiating her divorce from me are ready and she needs me to go up to Union City to sign them. It breaks my heart. I love her as much as I did when I fell in love with her more than 17 years ago. I love our family and it breaks my heart to see it torn apart this way. It has been a grueling 16 months. I feel I did all I could to reconcile with her and repair our marriage, but, from what I can tell, her resolve to end it was sure and unwavering from the day she asked for a separation in October 2012. Meera is moving on with her life, but will continue to share the parenting responsibilities with me. I will continue to do what I can to support her and encourage her when that is welcomed by her and appropriate. I also resolve to give her the space and distance, and try not to impinge on her peace of mind, her freedom to live her life, and fulfill herself according to her needs and desires.
