I've read some of David Foster Wallace's essays, but haven't had the gumption to tackle Infinite Jest yet, and from what I understand The Count is a serious effort as well. I'm generally hesitant to start anything that long, if only because I can get bored or discouraged easily. It's not the best trait, but it's why I've tried to read essays or shorter works by authors to get an idea of their style before delving into their lengthier volumes.

I have been looking into books by Murakami to read - unfortunately they've been pretty consistently checked out of the library...
