I'm having the least fun time ever finding sources to supplement my paper with. It makes me wish desperately that I had chosen Gravity's Rainbow to write about just because it's older and has more written on it. Then I remember reading Gravity's Rainbow, and think better of it. It's just so frustrating to search and search but know deep down that a book that's 10 years old will not have much of a wealth of information on it. Amusingly, the best book I found on Underworld includes the essay Professor Fitzpatrick wrote, which we already read for class...so, still not as much info as I need.

I know many of you are working on Infinite Jest (or Underworld). This thesis talks about both of them and the American media. Check it out in the link below.

Is anyone else having a ton of trouble narrowing down what exactly they would like to write about for the term paper? It's not that I don't know what to write about; in fact, it's the exact opposite. I don't know what NOT to write about. So far, we're working with about 3000 pages of exceedingly rich material, and I, for some sick reason, have a real urge to talk about at least 2 of the books. Is this hard for anyone else to winnow down to a feasibly short topic?
