i'm halfway through Gravity's Rainbow and haven't read any of his other work yet, so i'm by no means a Pynchon expert, but i agree. i didn't really start to enjoy it until i just said "fuck it" and read the damn thing; yeah i don't get a lot of the references, but i get some of them, and when i started i assumed it was 100% "serious" so i read it like so, until i realized there's loads of clever jokes throughout. and around part 3 i decided to go back and re-read the first 50 pages or so and it was that much clearer. i look forward to re-reading the whole thing after i finish honestly
