I'm 32.

My favorite book is Moby Dick, it's the best book in the English language (According to me)

just Google the esoteric science bits, it is worth it. I think the key for me is that the book is about 3 heroes, Pirate Prentice (the would-be traditional war hero), Roger Mexico (the romantic Byronic hero) and Tyrone Slothrop (the slacker anti-hero) and what the events of WWII and the conspiracies do to them/their archetypes. People get bogged down in the hundreds of characters and events but if you remember those are the 3 to keep your eye on, you'll be OK.

Order Pynchon's works from easiest to most difficult to read. Asking for a friend.

What setting do you want to see in his next novel?

A soldier in London during the blitz has a dream about bombing, and then goes to tend his banana garden while thinking about death. It's rendered in surreal nightmare prose because it's a surreal nightmare. Are all the anons reading GR really brainlets? I refuse to believe it.

YOU KNOW WHO IT ITS.
