I never could get through Infinite Jest, but I do respect Wallace. Nonfiction really isn't my thing though. He gave a commence speech that was later made into a little pamphlet book called "This is Water". YouTube it for the actual audio. You absolutely must hear it. You will cry if you put it in the context of his death two years later. For me it meant that we don't always have to be recovered to be a light.
