Theres something magical about this book, man. How did young Pynch manage to write a novel this complex and challenging but also pure, without coming across as a tryhard. He started writing it when he was 20, I’m 20 and I can never come up with such outline for the story, merging of abstract concepts and whacky characters all while conveying it in beautiful prose. God cursed me being a retard so all I can do is read the works of smarter people than me, I can never write myself.

>just realized that I’ll never have V. with this cover art because first edition costs more than $1k and I never had a job in my life
Why even continue living?
