My reading style usually involves having one big ambitious book which I interlude with shorter 'fun' sci-fi, fantasy type books.
Ive just finished Ulysses and I am unsure on wherever or not to read Jerusalem or The Crying Lot of 49, closely followed by Gravity's Rainbow next.
I already own Jerusalem, whilst an unfinished book taunts me I dont want to waste my time on it if its not good, I'd also love to get into Pynchon.
Anybody read both and can offer advice?

I don't really know anything about Jerusameme, but you can read Lot 49 in one or two sittings because it's really short.

Moore said something like "Thomas Pynchon's V. was my first experience with a real masterpiece. It shows in Watchmen. Most writers seem to prefer V. over GR, since it's just incredible that it got published at all.

that quote was supposed to end at "masterpiece"

Crying49 is one of those short-off reads. I'd start with Gravity's Rainbow before Jerusalem since it's had a big influence on Moore.

Jerusalem is not worth your time. In 250 pages in right now and it is god-awful.

You don't need to pretend you have read something to say it's bad here

Jerusalem is really long.

>>8581905
if you haven't read any Pynchon at all, you should probably not start with Gravity's Rainbow
