Ticket to the Fair by David Foster Wallace

[@carolyndewey8625]

This is the second time I've heard DFW say that he was the only person in a T-shirt and that he forgot to bring a notebook. The other time was on a cruise ship.

Gold. Ad free. No ads. A blessing.

[@Pallettown]

Thanks! Will hope to do more

[@nicholasshipley34]

​@@Pallettowngotta ditch the ads man. I love your work but I'm not gonna listen to an essay stuffed full of ads. Please get rid of them

[@Pallettown]

@@nicholasshipley34 ok thanks for the feedback. My channel just got monetized this week and wasn’t sure how the ads would work out. I’ve turned off the ads during the videos but there will still be ads before and after the video. If that’s still annoying I can turn off the non-shippable ads before the video

[@nicholasshipley34]

Thank you! Yeah ads before videos aren't an issue I just put your vids on at work or doing things around the house where I can't be skipping ads during videos all the time. Really appreciate your work!

19:59 This is one of my favorite parts of the essays where he describes the disconnect he has with eating meat and simultaneously feeling sorry for the animals in their pens.

[@NASkeywest]

I love how DFW is meant to go interview the top dogs for these pieces but ends up not actually interviewing anyone and just observing.

[@Raventooth]

Watch the interview with his former editors. They talk about this especially pertaining to his article about McCain.

[@Kuyarani1229]

I have to read this for my Lyric Essay graduate course tomorrow and absolutely didn't have the time for it-so I'm really glad I can listen to this on my commute! Thanks for posting this, your reading voice is so good! Consider me subscribed to your channel. 😊

[@Trey_1234]

hey dude, thanks for the audiobook, I wasn't expecting to find one but I needed to read this for college so I appreciate it

[@Pallettown]

One of my earliest recordings so prob not the best, but happy it could help brother!

[@johnnycreighton29]

@@Pallettown I really like your reading voice. Very good. For a brief few weeks, I read written material as it was recorded for the blind, at the studios operated by former radio announcer Hap Hapgood, who himself was blind. There's much more to reading than one might think.

[@chocolatewheelchair]

I love how all these kids in college are supposed to read but they can’t be bothered and just listen to the KZbin video in-between bites of a cheese burger while boldy t-shirted.

[@Kittycats-s]

I wonder if the creator of the original post ever graduated from college......

[@aidenhall5301]

You have no idea how much this is saving me rn. Thank you so much!

[@Maggdusa]

You're awesome.

[@Pallettown]

Thank you! My very first super thanks! You’re awesome 😊

[@bathwindow]

Great read PTR. Enjoyed thoroughly.

[@buddakats1]

Thanks for the videos u have made. You actually sound like him. He writes so casually it's easy to not realize how great he is, just like tennis players on tv. I got into tennis from the videos u made.

[@Pallettown]

I agree, he makes it seem so effortless. His writing on tennis is fascinating. This was one of my first recordings and one of my favourites. Thanks for listening!

[@Pallettown]

Thanks for listening! Let me know what you would like to hear next.

[@dyowe518]

Thank you 🙏

[@dwanderful1]

Great fantastic job reading thanks

[@Pallettown]

Thanks!

[@petertomasi7587]

These recordings are fantastic; thanks! Would you consider doing DFW's essay on David Lynch?

[@Pallettown]

I've always enjoyed that one, and it is on my list of essays to do next!

[@petertomasi7587]

Awesome; looking forward to it!

“PIE-uht” county. DFW woulda known that.

[@notsocrates9529]

What was the purpose of your comment?

[@CasperLCat]

Tattooed carnie folk and obese Americans were curiosities only about 25 years ago. The good old days.

[@YodasPapa]

"implacable" has a hard "k" sound and all shourt vowel sounds. -unable to be stopped; relentless.

[@Pallettown]

Thanks!

[@oldnewsclipster]

Etc. = 'etcetera' cicadas, calliope - I just can't

[@shreyaroka1551]

Is this dfw himself speaking?

[@usererror7007]

Nah. He has a really idiosyncratic voice

[@pandalilpig]

sometimes its preferred to hear instead of read. The lazy American in me Dave also loathed, and lived. ty

[@Pallettown]

@@pandalilpig thanks for listening!

[@LittleMew133]

Ero-stocism XD

[@KatJ3st]

Talk a little slower. Feel each sentence. It'll e a gamechanger for success.

[@pod9363]

He’lll be ok. I like how he reads.

[@johnnycreighton29]

I'm sad and a little puzzled that there are no wishes for DFW to rest in peace, no expression of condolences. Why is this? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Foster_Wallace

[@burtfiasco]

instead of wondering why the rest of humanity failed to meet your standards you could have just expressed these sentiments yourself. You are sad and puzzled for no reason whatsoever. Your comment is epic, though.
