I had a dream last night where the name Thomas Pynchon and gravity's rainbow kept appearing. I woke up at 3am and I couldn't fucking sleep and I just ordered the book. What the fuck lit?

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.

lol. Yeah I read the first several pages of it and it's been something on my mind for a few days now. I was eating bananas in my oatmeal the other morning and I couldn't stop getting the thought of Gravity's Rainbow out of my head.
