The New York Times: The Book Club with Just One Member by Motoko Rich
Matthew Bucher, a textbook editor in Austin, Tex., who administers “Wallace-L,” an online discussion group for fans of David Foster Wallace, said that the expertise of mathematicians, linguists and other fans sharing insights with the online group vastly improved his reading of “Infinite Jest.” That doesn’t stop Mr. Bucher from having a deeply intimate relationship with books. “I still read the book at home at night by myself with one lamp,” he said. “The next day it does enhance my experience to talk about it.”
The New Yorker: Leave Me Alone by Ian Crouch
Rich introduces Matthew Bucher, who runs an online discussion group for David Foster Wallace Fans called “Wallace-L.” While Bucher is a clear example of the modern reader—interested in making connections and building communities—he also values the solitude that reading provides: “I still read the book at home at night by myself with one lamp.”
LA Times Jacket Copy: Infinite Summer is Over but 2666 Spring Calls by Carolyn Kellogg
Matt Bucher decided to restart the big book online reading group elsewhere, at bolanobolano.com, where he’s posted a reading schedule that stretches for more than three months.
