Snow-balls have flown their Arcs, starr’d the Sides of Outbuildings, as of Cousins, carried Hats away into the brisk Wind off Delaware, - the Sleds are brought in and their Runners carefully dried and greased, shoes deposited in the back Hall, a stocking’d-foot Descent made upon the great Kitchen, in a purposeful Dither since Morning, punctuated by the ringing Lids of various Boilers and Stewing-Pots, fragrant with Pie-Spices, peel’d Fruits, Suet, heated Sugar, - the Children, having all upon the Fly, among rhythmic slaps of Batter and Spoon, coax’d and stolen what they might, proceed, as upon each afternoon all this snowy Advent, to a comfortable Room at the rear of the House, years since given over to their carefree Assaults.

I'm halfway thought it and those were the only interesting parts. Is there anything else or can I already consider myself filtered?

Hey /lit/, I'm taking a course that looks at how contemporary novels write/rewrite history. What do you think of the reading list? Are any of these good?


The Age of Phillis - Honoree Jeffers
Confessions of the Fox - Jordy Rosenberg
Gulliver's Travels - Jonathon Swift
Mad Bad and Dangerous to Know - Samira Ahmed
Thomas Pynchon - Mason and Dixon

Son Thomas Pynchon & Mason & Dixon Xon, my favorite book.

Do you think Pynchon was trying too hard to write the "great American novel" with Son & Xon, lads?

For the literary value per page, what would you rate more highly, Pynchon's Mason & Dixon or DFW's Infinite Jest? Which would you rather read and why?

For a non-native English speaker, how hard is this compared to GR (which I have read in English)?

Will m&d overtake GR as Pynchon’s magnus opus in the future?

What am I in for? Bout page 90 or so, and already the language has become easier to read.

Only other Pynchon ive tackled has been inherent vice.

Did you like mason dixon? Why or why not?

I'm currently around 70% through Mason and Dixon, and one thing that I just realized after doing some research is that the field book entries are actually real. Does anyone know where it's possible to read the journal entries?

Which of the long/complex books is the best in your opinion?
I'm partial to Mason and Dixon myself, but I am also partial to Underworld and House of Leaves

I've read Gravity's Rainbow and liked it, but this is just too much for me. It's way too hard to read that it just ends up being a chore. I also feel like it requires a lot more historical knowledge beforehand than any of Pynchon's other books.

wtf no one told me that this was going to be even more challenging than Gravity's Rainbow

Still really enjoying though. What are your thoughts on this faux-Georgian tome?
