Heaven or Hell?

There was a big subreddit readthrough, on a big subreddit dedicated to readthroughs, of gravity's rainbow that lasted about 4 weeks before everyone dropped it.
He's like a myth to reddit. They know he exists, but they see him as an unconquerable beast. Any discussion there about his books from people who "read" them is about how hard they are.

> implying this isn't a brilliantly written literary representation of coprophilia

Plus, you're taking it out of context. The character who eats shit is an immense pervert and a potential paedophile.

Is that a Pubchon character?

I too have given up

>>9201127
Just this. No one has or will write 'the novel' like Pynchon did through his twenties, i.e. with such power and insight. It's just not happening again.

What about Kermick McCorncob?

bull fucking shit. Brigadier Pudding had no interest in fucking children.

At B&N right now, quick, where do I start with Pynchy?

The used bookstore because B&N is overpriced.

Also Vineland is where I started but I guess you could just dive into GR no problem.

Infinite Jest

>>9204981
buy col49 and gravitys rainbow, read in that order

>>9204981
Inherent Vice and CoL49

>>9204981
V.
For the love of God if you decide to read GR don't get the penguin.

>>9205003
Yeah this is what I'm doing. Anyone read Mason and Dixon? Thoughts?

>>9204347
Gee, dunno. What about Gandolf Lerhitz?

>>9205031
Strange, sad, funny, strong.

>>9205031
I regret not doing V. between Gravity's Rainbow and The Crying of Lot 49, Col49 just doesn't prepare you for the sheer convolution of GR, and V. is closer in structure.

>>9205013
Why not?

They fixed this issue, and I emailed their customer service department with pictures and proof of purchase when I found out. They sent a replacement the next day, and I had it within five. I was pretty pissed when I found out, as I was pretty far into it, but I didn't expect them to replace it. Just letting everyone know this meme can die. If you bought the fucked up copy, contact Penguin and get a brand new one for free.

Was pretty good for Liverpool but didn't win the league so not a god.
