Wallace-l, the David Foster Wallace mailing list, is undertaking an 8 week read of The Pale King and it kicks off today(-ish).

There are pagination differences between the hardback and paper editions of The Pale King but it shouldn't be too much of an issue (except for the addition material added to the paperback...).
Just like during other group reads Paul Debraski is blogging his progress over at I Just Read About That... I encourage you to keep an eye over there as well. He always has interesting things to say (and he's covered so much Wallace).
If you're blogging your read let me know so I can put together a list. Is there a hash tag? #palesummer14?
