Wow great thread. Glad I came on /lit/ today otherwise I wouldve missed this gem

I wouldn't call it a gem, it's more like atheist wish fulfillment where the enemy is the church.

Hear, hear!
Let's talk about Gravity's Rainbow
I'm about 200 pages in and I'm finding it surprisingly penetrable. After hearing it was the 'Everest of fiction'. Yes, it is a challenge but not as much as I was expecting.
Does it get harder as it goes on, as in more scientifically technical? I'm enjoying it very much so far, its blend of humour, paranoia, absurdity, sex and nihilistic commentary is all very appealing to me in a book.

Anyone read this? Cannot find a sample of it anywhere and was wondering if someone could throw out the opening paragraph or a few lines or screens if you have. Was thinking about reading it.
Also discuss: Apollinaire or similar lit

Just read the book, it's classic erotica and Apollinaire is a funny guy, you'll like it.
>>
>>8801376
I will but it's more a matter of whether or not I ought to read it right away (in the event that it's the direction I've been looking for) or if I should cover a few other things I've been working towards first.

I haven't read it but I'm in for an Apollinaire general.
My personal fav is Il Pleut. One of my French teachers in college made us write our own calligrammes, I wrote a terrible one about a lamp-lighter. Not only was the poem terrible, but the image was tough to figure out. I had arrows to mark which direction the poem went. It also didn't help that it looked like the man was peeing.

Agreed, but I'm a little shitfaced and unwinding with this before my graveyard shift (something none of the characters in this novel would understand...).
Early to bed, early to rise, comrades. You win by waking up to the shift, not by ending with the shift.

Regardless of how good/bad you think My Twisted World was, it was far superior to anything that any of you could write.

It was objectively good, but you cannot admit that because you dislike the author on a personal level.
