i like your taste in books. what else is fun? looking for less serious stuff like this - fuck hard with flashman.

it's as much good as bad and there's a lot of it
if you've got a penchant for esoterica and a sense of humor you will probably enjoy it some.

pynchon, if that even needs to be said. gravity's rainbow is basically a well written illuminatus

I'm not sure what's comparable, Illuminatus! is fairly unique. Perhaps Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris or Darkest England/The Natives Are Restless by Idries Shah.

hitchhikers guide is a bit like a defanged illuminatus

It's the literary equivalent to an acid trip, in a good way

not even remotely.

It's more like amphetamine psychosis with a sense of humour.
