Pynchmeister isn't a boomer, ya dingus.

>>9550947
Yeah, he's from the silent generation

Is this your first Pynchon? Because if you're not used to his style and themes you will have a tough time getting through the first chapter of GR

>>9550074

Seriously, do people ever get past the first 50 pages of this book? Seems like any and all discussion of GR is always in reference to the bananas, giant adenoid, and then the part where he goes down the toilet. I just assume everybody gives up before they finish it despite their best intentions (I personally lasted about 500 pages).

there was a whole long thread about the ending like a week or so ago

>>9551017
I finished it in around 2 weeks and loved every moment

It becomes much more readable once you realize you're not meant to understand what's going on most of the time. You're just meant to lose yourself in it and enjoy the ride.
