Point of reading Pynchon?

To those who have read any of him: What is the point of reading Pynchon books? When I hear people gush about Pynchon, they usually have trouble saying why. Basically what I'm asking: when reading a Pynchon novel, as a reader, what to acquire? What is the value of his texts?

He does look like he's aged relatively well

There was this "artist's rendering" of what he could possibly have looked like. I think he knew what he looked like but made one change to preserve Pynchon's semi-anonymity: he gave him short hair.

What are some writing apps?

Good, bad, whatever, I can decide for myself.

Have any of you read it? I was curious when I found out it was only in certain editions of Slow Learner. After reading it I can see why Pinecone might be ashamed of it or something.

It felt like a more lackadaisical prototype of the kinds of things he does in V. or even in other stories in Slow Learner.

Daily reminder the Pynchon and Bloom murdered DFW in cold blood to save face.

I am Thomas Pynchon.
I have never once smoked cannabis.
I killed David Foster Wallace for denying my influence, and I pay for the infant souls that Harold Bloom needs to stay alive because he likes me.

You need to get into the character a little more, but this has potential.
