>But I bet understanding Pynchon's puzzles satisfies your ego's recognition of its own cleverness.

I'm reading it, not writing it--there really isn't that much for me to feel clever about. Anyhow I have better ways of making myself feel smart than sitting around smugly reflecting on my level of literacy.

Pynchon can take some thought and some leg work, but he's not some inaccessible tiddler who it takes a lifetime of study to understand.

>implying the opinions on good reads or amazon are any better than any opinions found elsewhere

You do have a point, though. I don't get why people simply read a book and then decide for themselves whether or not it was good.

What exactly is the point of good reads?

You just make a list of books you've read?
