Infinite Jest's endnotes are a huge part of the novel's fun.
Admittedly, they don't seem as such at first, but I've found myself anticipating the latest longer note with bated breath. Each time I come across the superscript calling me to the back of the book, I wonder if it will perhaps be the one. It felt like a strange sort of indulgence, something that shouldn't be enjoyed, but was.
Though, maybe note 269's being all about the Incandenzas helps. Having such a subject makes for a rich reading experience, after all.
