Next Selection: Gerard..and it's an essay!

I'm slowing getting back in the swing of things here, thanks for bearing with me! Gerard has sent me his selection for the next reading, it's an essay "Host" by David Foster Wallace. He's sent me (and I've shared it here below) the link to it, but wants you all to know that the longer version is well worth reading if you can dig up the collection "Consider the Lobster" by David Foster Wallace.

I hope you all enjoy it! And Gerard, want to share some reflections to get us going sometime this week?
