wow, this book be like, so deep. it was really meant for superior intellectuals like me, you know, special people who can really abstract and see in depth
I mean, I couldn't understand most of it, but that's why it is deep, it is so deep I myself couldn't understand. even tho reading it was a boring, I enjoyed a lot.

This was the editor's choice. Not intentional. Later editions don't have it (I'm a true Pynchonhead, I have pic-related edition with the ugly cover)

It means I can put the book away and focus on something that's actually interesting and meaningful.

It’s quintessentially anti-war baby boomer bullshite that the hippies during the summer of love would shout out as they made their plans to go to Canada to evade the draft.

I mean, is the basis of what you're saying dialogical? Do you resent it because you disagree with it? Love the war?

I picked this up last December and I'm only on page 167. I haven't read any other book this year.
How do I finish it bros??? After glazing over a few pages I found myself reading about lesbos going at it and I have no idea what's going on.
