David Foster Wallace Dies

Sad news for those that remember the essays, David Foster Wallace died this weekend. Although I found our reading for OMG difficult - I gained considerable respect for him in a book titled Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays.

God, he's my age. David Foster Wallace is dead. By his own will. This one hits hard. Why? Although we all whined and complained about reading his works, the man had something to say. And for someone as talented as he was, why do this?

A sad day.
