Should I read Carpenter's Gothic before diving into Recognitions? Anyone here read it? Thoughts?

Read Gaddis chronologically, as his ideas and views mature with each book.

Carpenter's Gothic is my favourite novel I've read in the past year. The first chapter especially is virtuoso writing of the highest order.

'The Recognitions' isn't as hard as you think it is.
