Pynchon's work has a bunch of characters and often references his other work.

Why's it dumb? I liked it quite a bit, imagine walking around the English countryside in a pig suit lmao so random. WHAAAAT GIANT RAINBOW ERECTION WHAAAAAAAT.

It goes off the rails a bit but I like that. I fucking love the "cartoony" feel of his books. He goes off the rails all the fucking time with rants and descriptions, fucking songs and tons of different storylines and ridiculous scenes. It's not for everyone but it's memed on for a reason.

Anything I should know before I tackle this meme book?
Should I read his other work first?

either this or crime and punishment

Just how high do you even have to be just to do something like that...……..

>Am I the only one that thinks this book is infantile?>there's a big government and it's MEAN and OPPRESSIVEIt was uninsightful. It was literally fiction. It appealed to extremely plebian sentiments of comic-bookish totalitarianism. Honestly what I would expect from an Upper West Side New Yorker: railing against some inexplicable caricature of oppression, to justify your murderous communistic position

I read almost a quarter of it. Its very nice written but I have absolutley no idea anymore whats going on.

I think it was a mistake to start reading Pynchon with this work.
So: Where to start with Pynchon?

Alright, I actually did it. I actually finished this. It was difficult, but I really enjoyed it. The only question I have is, what exactly happened? Like in the whole book? I honestly feel so lost still. So many vignettes...

What's the verdict? I'm planning this for June's big novel.

This is awful. Gibberish

gibberish. nonsense

I am 500 pages in and starting to get the impression that to fully enjoy the book I need to re-read it again. Don't get me wrong I like the book, but just the thought of re-reading the whole Kenosha Kid part kind of exhausts me. Did you guys read it twice?

If nothing else the meme trilogy is something engaging to do

The rocket is supposed to be his dong

It's so dense

I gave up

Should it have won the Nebula?

>700 pages in
>it's only getting more and more soul-destroying
h-hold me, /lit/

How about that boat orgy huh?
What's with the pedophilia though?
