Is anyone participating in Infinite Summer, a summer-long effort to read (or re-read) Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace?

I am participating. I haven't gotten very far. I wanted to read ahead to make sure I didn't get behind, but it's kind of a slow read. I will stay on schedule though. I think reading this particular book with a big group is a great idea.

I am really surprised that there isn't an IS group. But that will learn me to stay away so long.
I am loving Infinite Jest -- I'm almost at 600 pages now. I'm a big David Foster Wallace fan, but I found the first 200 pages really hard. And then, I hit a section where I felt like DFW was talking right to me, and it didn't take any work, I just had to be present and hear.
And since then, it's mostly been an addictive read. I have tried to read everything so far, including the parts that seem to drive people mad (like any of the street addict sections), but I admit that I've skipped the war game, and there has been some cruelty to animals that has just been a bit more than I could take.
I'm actually looking forward to reading it again. I bought a copy, just so I can mark it up....
