I got Mason & Dixon for Christmas and, although I have a few other books to read before I start it, I read the first 10 or so pages to get a feel for it, and–
the book I finished most recently was Ulysses, which only once I found *very* challenging; during Oxen of the Sun. I mostly found it very enjoyable. But fuck, Mason & Dixon threw me off.
Is this book more difficult than Ulysses? Or am I missing out on something significant?

I feel that I should add that I have read Pynchon before, I read V which I found incredibly enjoyable and also hilarious, I'd recommend it as essential if you haven't read it already.

OP Pynchon didn't slack in emulating the writing from that time period. I think if you persevere through it you can learn to adapt to the writing style.

It's not that hard. You may just not be used to the style. Go at it a few more times.

You are just dumb as fuck my man.

First 15 or so pages went by real slow for me, but in the span of just a few hours I had read like 90 pages comfortably. Whenever I pick it up there's always like a page or two of slow-going until I readjust myself to the style, I almost guarantee that's why the book is proving itself difficult for you, if you stick with it you should be able to figure it out.

It's probably too hard for you
