how many people here have actually read it?

I don't want to start with it, I want to start with another Pynchon book. But some guy keeps giving me shit about it.

>recently declared english major
>had read CoL49 in the fall, excited to read this book
>takes six weeks to read
>after, confront english professor
>tell me in all honesty it's a terrible book
>tfw been trolled by internet memes and academia

Possibly one of the worst books i've ever read, literally did not make me laugh once. would not recommend. 1/10.

i've read it twice

I've read the Romanian translation. I don't think I got much out of it.

Me.
Why is having read it some sort of big deal? The people who fetishize it are the people who haven't read it. You never did the Kenosha, kid.

This. I'm currently reading it and loving it. Most the people who dislike it are contrarians, idiots, or both.

Thirded.

I read it last year after V. and it was great.

Read it through for the first time this year, probably my favorite book now. I'll often just pick it up again, flip to a random page and begin to chuckle.
