Read libra and mao II first.

Underworld is fucking amazing
ATD is also fucking amazing but gets dry in the middle, if you push through to the finale its entirely worth it and by far Pynchon's best
JR by Gaddis is imo worth reading but only after you've read all of his other works or it comes across as pretentious self indulgent garbage. that or you need the patience of a stone.

also fuck Franzen.

i've read libra

Depends, by "pretentious self indulgent garbage" do you mean "stuff that I don't like"? Because to call Pynchon and Gaddis pretentious is pretty baffling, considering that they actually know what they're talking about.

do you think pynchon has completed metal gear solid 1, 2, 3, and 4?

Or is he a wikipedia skimmer?

>>7500551
He only had to play the first one for research purposes IMO

>>7500559
Psh, I bet he didn't even reflect when he finished. What a twat.

Hello reddit9k

>>7500571
I agree
now read "Mr Difficult: William Gaddis and the problem of hard-to-read books" by Franzen and see if you'll ever touch any of his work again

>pretentious self indulgent garbage

well, it fits the image perfectly

I think the picture actually is appropriate to the thread, OP, given your mention of pretentious self indulgent garbage.

All art is self-indulgent, but, yes, JR is worth reading.
