I don't see why people can't work out the slang terms, it's really not that hard and always in fairly obvious context. I also finished Infinite Jest today, not a bad book but the ending (non-ending?) was a little anti climatic.

the-artful-dodger-rodger:
well all the slang was use as a filter because there is alot of nasty stuff that happens in the book, if he havent use the slang, the book probaby been banned because of the graphicness of the novel.

Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, or the very different sequel Porno.

You'll know who is talking by the dialect...

they are the black bohemian rye bread of reading-- rich, leaving you warm and sated.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. Still, how hard is it to figure out "giving her the old 'in-out, in-out'"?
