>how you imagine Thomas Pynchon to be
>"*unzips laptop* xD, another snorkleborkle day! What are my friends on /lit/ thinking, only they can look at books in an edgy way that doesn't bore me! Oops, my laptop is covered in cocaine and weed xD! Maybe I can get high as I type my next book about internet culture and pepe, that'll help me write :D But first I'll finish reading that medieval Pagan cookbook!111 *picks it up off the stack of other similar books* *camera pans out and twists, and you see his desk and seat is stuck to the wall and he is superglued to the chair, working sideways 6 feet off the ground*"

>what Thomas Pynchon is actually like, with a 99.9999 % accuracy
>"*reads the New York Times from front to back, like he does every day, along with the New Yorker and The Economist* Hmm... I'm glad Macron was elected, his sensible moderation and centre ground reforms will be a bastion of progress in our turbulent times. *has a nap* *Reads the latest Jonathan Franzen and then New York Times best seller books* I think I'll go to my study. *Skims Wikipedia to make notes for his new book, gets lazy, decides to make his current section more abstract and incoherent* *Writes exactly 1000 words* *Goes to sleep again*."

I just want to tell you how much i like this book. This is my third fantasy book and it's great. Before finding it i was struggling to find something to read that would keep me interested for the entire book. I will be honest that i chose it because of the cover. And i have fapped while reading it. But there is not as much fap material in it as you would expect. I don't know how fantasy readers rate this but for me it's very nice escapism.
