infinite jest

DFW's masterpiece otherwise known as the pinnacle of postmodern literary snobbery. At a whopping 1,000+ pages (some editions even reach 1,500 pages), 300+ footnotes, and a cast of characters comparable to Tolstoy's mammoth of a novel, War and Peace, Infinite Jest is everyman's trophy of intellectual-ish greatness.
Wow, you actually read Infinite Jest? Boy are you mad!

Infinite Jest

Infinite jest is a construction brick and doorstopper which contains a large amount of text. It was released by Little, Brown and Company in an attempt to enter the market spaces of both both brick construction and interior décor during the active real estate market of the 1990's.

Some people have attempted to read the contents of the brick/doorstopper, but like breaking a normal clay brick into pieces with a sledgehammer and attempting to count them for fun, most have given up after a short time, realizing that successfully doing so would be an rather strange and unproductive feat that ultimately impresses nobody.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
