None the least. You'll quit about 50 pages in probably.

It's an absolutely incredible book. I'm in the middle of reading it and it's all I can think about, even after I put it down. You're in for a ride.

I hated Crying of Lot 49, so I haven't even bothered to try GR.

>>8268271
Did you read V. first?

I recommended my mother this book

GR was more satisfying, challenging, and intriguing than Lot, for me

Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it. Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card. "Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.

Yeah, I did. I think it helped for me to get into Pynchon's style.

Not op, but I'm about 50 pages into GR. I like it, so far, but it's a slow read. Takes me longer to read a page than 3 pages of simpler authors, due to unusual prose and long run on sentences, but a very interesting and rewarding read.

No, I'm glad to see someone picking up such a great book! Enjoy, anon!!

OP needs more memes.

I get a laugh out of this every time
