> I get the feeling that he is one of those really fucking boring authors who you have to pretend says profound stuff.

He has a lot of followers who are like that, but what he says is modestly profound and he doesn't act like it's more profound than it is. White noise is about as "idea"-laden as it gets in his works, since white noise to me has always been more of an essay-novel similar to say, 1984.

His earlier stuff is more like early Pynchon but easier to slog through.

OP here. I also read some of Americana and likednit but didn't finish it for some reason. It's clear what he was going for there.

bumpin

Is Zero K any good? The Barnes in my town bought like a dozen copies randomly so I'm wondering if it's gonna be a movie or something.

Point Omega is really good

Americana is quite horrible. Reading Players right now, it's kind of like a more paranoid Mao II

The Names is good, although overly long.

Seconding Americana being crap. It was his first novel tho tbf.

If you like scientific mysticism, good prose, American vocabulary and satire he's really good. He's not as good of a writer as Pynchon but he's the better analyst
