What your thoughts on Slow Learner?
I've started this book and so far I cannot say I'm enjoying it as I did with TCoL49. I've only read the first two stories; the first story was nothing special and forgettable, the second was interesting as funny, but not as good as his later work.
What I've seen of it ranged from bad to meh. It's classified as obsessed-completists-only for good reason

It's only intended for Pinecone fans interested in seeing how he developed as a writer, and he says as much in the intro
I liked it for the commentary and obviously pig Bodine ... My fav Pinecone character

Pig Bodine is pretty awesome, Benny Profane is probably my favorite though

It's worth persevering for The Secret Integration. Even Pynchon admits that one's pretty damn good.
