More of little summaries than a guide.

Yeah, that was me, lemme pull it up here.

1. To prepare was 48 hours of adult swim, to get you in the right mood (i recommend tim and eric, the eric andre show, and aqua teen hunger force) these shows will get your funny bone vibratin & get you attuned to the pynchon comedy frequency (~~~~~~)
2. Brush up on what things belong together and what dont. For instance, in war (serious), pie fights (not serious, wacky, ridiculous) do NOT belong together. Thats why its so freaking funny. If you're confused as to what things belong together and what dont, youre gonna miss a lot of the comedy, itsjust gonna fly (like a rocket lol) right over ur little tiny pea brain.
3. Watch monty python and the holy grail for some sophisticated comedy, because pynchon jokes are very high iq like the british version of a sitcom, not stupid like the american version.
4. Put on you're thinking cap, because pynchons gona throw a lot of important themes at you. Nobody before 1973 had ever said that the military-industrial complex was messed up. People thought it was really good. Then pynchon arrived on the scene with his flashes of merriment and his songs and gambols, and people took heart: war was bad news indeed.
4. Strap yourself in tight (its gonna be a bumpy ride)
5. Light some of that sweet sweet sweet ganga marijuana my sweet dude. Oooo that sticky stuff, suck on the joint mon like a ajamaican mon yayaha get high brother.
6. Jerk off before you start, so you arent interrupted with the urge to jerk off later. My fellow rocketeers know what i be sayin mon, yoo know? Ha ha.
7. Cancel all meetings and appointnments. Actually do this earlier.
8. Snacks. Get all the snacks you can find and build a snack fort. Youre gonna want to be snackin mon.
9. Start reading the book.
10. The first half of it doesnt make any sense. Thats on purpose. You just have to plow thru it. You may be thinking, but what could be the point of that. Heh. Book doesnt make any sense.... yeah, you think thats an accident? Lemme explain somethin else that didnt make too much sense to ya. World war 2. Yeah, sit on that.
11?. Keep on reading until you reach the end of the book.
12. Now you can jerk off agaib you animal.

Good guide, anon. I would also like to add that you should listen to every pop song that was ever released. These are crucial if you want to understand Pynchon's juxtaposition of hi- and low-culture.
>Jerk off before you start
unironically good advice, there is a truly bonerific scene about once every 20 pages in anything Pynchon writes.

The closest thing to Pynchon on adult swim is objectively Xavier Renegade Angel.
