I just finished The Odyssey and Taras Bulba. What should I read now: V by Pynchon (my second Pinecone after Lot 49 which was pretty enjoyable) or Tristram Shandy?
make your own decisions you dumb faggot

I agree
start with the greeks
Tristram Shandy
What'd you think of The Odyssey?
Tristram Shandy ofc.

Really enjoyable and funny. You'll have a good time reading it. It's like going back to those adventure books you used to read as a child, but in a got tier version with funnily flowery prose, monsters, gods, magic and shit. There are even charismatic punchlines for Ulysses or genuinely hilarious episodes like the "my name is Nobody" one. You really understand how amazed and excited those guys were about the unexplored world.

Oh yeah, I've read it and had a similar sentiment. Did you read The Iliad before it?

V. is pynchon's opus and Tristam Shandy is amazing. Read them both!
>>7739069
Nope, I found this old paperback at my grannie's house. I'll get The Illiad now I guess.

You're not fucking ready for Tristram Shandy.
