Techinquly you're not, unless you can actually read Arabic.

Douglas Coupland does.
Coupland is like what would happen if you took Mark Leyner and made him stop doing drugs, removed his brain and replaced it with a "television tuned to a dead channel".
Let's just stop talking about him and talk about Mark Leyner instead because ET TU BABE IS THE GREATEST PIECE OF MODERN LITERATURE EVER.

And this folks is what happens when someone who just started college reads David Foster Wallace. This post here. Scientists are working on a vaccine, but they're not hopeful.
I'm reading Rilke right now and I think I'm going to start McCarthy's The Road. I hear Oprah has really good things to say about it. Weren't we discussing a book club at some point? We should try to do that again, that would be fun.

In point of fact, I fucking hate David Foster Wallace, and if you've actually read Et Tu, Babe you'd know I was making a joke.

Yes and it sounded like a joke that DFW made in 1993. But I'm with you in the Wallace dislike.
