The novel is widely noted for its unconventional narrative structure and its experimental use of endnotes (there are a total of 388 endnotes, some with footnotes of their own). It has been categorized as an encyclopedic novel and made TIME magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels published between 1923 and 2005.

(OP) Ride the wings of the mind User ID: 78084756 United States 10/30/2019 11:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know someone who was diagnosed with "laughing depression" or smiling depression. Quoting: Ricky M Those who are most surprised to realize they're experiencing some form of depression are those suffering from “smiling depression.” Most people haven’t even heard of the term. The definition of smiling depression is: appearing happy to others, literally smiling, while internally suffering with depressive symptoms. Smiling depression often goes undetected. Those suffering from it often discount their own feelings and brush them aside. They might not even be aware of their depression or want to acknowledge their symptoms due to a fear of being considered “weak.” Suicide can be a particular threat for individuals suffering with smiling depression. Typically, people suffering with classic, severe depression might have suicidal thoughts, but not the energy to act on their feelings. However, those suffering from smiling depression have the energetic ability to plan and follow through. This is why smiling depression can be more dangerous than a classic form of severe depression.

It's still an underground phenomenon, but does this represent a new form of protest like the wearing of the ‘V for Vendetta’ mask? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78118997 From Chile to Lebanon, via Hong Kong and Iraq, a number of people have taken to wearing the recognisable exaggerated smile of the Joker currently portrayed in the cinema by Joaquin Phoenix in the international hit film by Todd Philipps. The face of the Joker, Batman's ultimate nemesis, has now been seen in masks, face paint and graffiti tags in global demonstrations protesting against governments.

It can't be worse than game of thrones ending though. I'm not sure. I didn't finish infinite jest but I wouldn't put it past david foster Wallace to make it soul crushing in some way. My rabbi dressed up as a jedi today The commencement speech he delivered was rather soul crushing. I see his point although that comes through the lens of someone who also battles depression. I don't think most people really want to see and understand the harsh truths. I think people go out of their way, to shield themselves from them and I know why. He mentions why in the spiritual crisis clip. More awareness is often a tradeoff to happiness. IOW, it's hard to function when you see it for what it is. Like Dion said, laugh or hang.
