23; reading Bleeding Edge as well. It's not my first Pynchon, but it just might be the funniest one I've read so far. If you want more like it, OP, I highly recommend Inherent Vice or Lot 49. V. is phenomenal, but it's not as easy a read.

Not kosher at all.

Lot 49 was my first Pynchon and it was great fun. I gave it another read not long ago, and while I still enjoyed it, I found it very different from the other stuff of his I've read. Pynchon's style is Pynchon's style, but Lot 49 is very... unfocused, I guess? Both Inherent Vice and Bleeding Edge have a ton of subplots and characters, but there's no story within a story like Lot 49's play.
