What are /r/InfiniteJest's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I haven't seen a list like the one you're looking for so I started one of my own, though I then put the book down shortly thereafter. Maybe I'll pick it back up soon haha (forgot I had even subscribed to this subreddit) and if I do I'll update the list as I go.

there are a few readers guide books that really helped me see the connections. I recommend "Elegant Complexity" (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002H9VXQC/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1)

I used this as I went through and found it was very helpful: https://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Complexity-Foster-Wallaces-Infinite/dp/0976146533

YMMV

While I was reading the book, I read a companion piece called Elegant Complexity. It really helped me without spoiling things that hadn't happened yet.

you might like a reader's guide to read after each chapter to tie things together. I like https://www.amazon.com/Elegant-Complexity-Foster-Wallaces-Infinite/dp/0976146533

It helped me a lot.

The movie is based on an interview/ Road trip that the writer David Lipsky did http://www.amazon.com/Although-Course-You-Becoming-Yourself/dp/030759243X

I read the book after seeing the movie. It is also great and he goes into his history of addiction.
