Great entry! David Foster Wallace is brilliant. Speaking of brilliant writers, a couple of weeks ago I saw Christopher Hitchens and Lewis Lapham (editor of Harpers) speak at the 92nd Street Y. I'm constantly amazed by how smart and witty Harpers is. The fact that Wallace is a regular contributor to Harpers brings so much to it.

Harper's is great, just make sure if you subscribe you ask not to be placed on their mailing list; within 2 weeks of subscribing a few years ago I got 80 pieces of junk mail.

I recently saw BOTH DFW and Jonathan Franzen at a reading at the Quartery Meeting House in NYC as part of the New Yorker Book Festival. They both read and answered questions. DFW was really funny and SIGNED my First Edition/First Printing copies of Infinite Jest and A.S.F.T.I.N.D.A.

LOVE!
