disgusting

>>10096723
if you couldn't enjoy ulysses, don't even bother starting infinite jest, you won't make it.

>>10096705
ulysses and finishing ij, 200 pages left. after page 500 on IJ it got way over my expectations, its great, but ulysses is just godtier.

will get to pinecone later on, will need a break from anything remotely related to modernism/post modernism/post post post modernism/post irony/post sincerity

All of them but culture of critique. Not sure how that one squeezed in

Pinecones best work is mason and dixon. Gr was heavy/depressing at points but i couldnt help but lol at the shit eating scenes.
>inb4 you got pynched by the great trickster
Infinite jest got me back into reading. there are some good characters even though the book hasnt held up for me as time has gone one.
Ulysses is damn good. Redemptive, pretty funny, and also sad af at points. Bloom is a bit of a laughable pussy but he turns it around a bit. Boners4molly

None, but I am currently reading Ulysses. I've just finished "Lotus eaters" chapter yesterday and starting with "Hades" today. So far, this book has been terribly boring and with the exception of Mr.Deasy telling the truth about Jews and England, I didn't find anything amusing in it. Is it still too early in the book and nothing started happening yet or will the entire book be a pile of steaming shit? I heard it was supposed to be one of the best books ever written and blow my mind. Was it all just a meme? What's the point of this book and should I keep on reading?

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 2 07:48:39 2017 No.10097995 >>10097306 humm i don't know...Ij is pretty longer and in my opinion, the reward starts showing at page ~500. there are some grat chapters before it but also some slugish on I had to crawl through

None of Gravity's Rainbow, because I haven't gotten around to it.
Some of Ulysses, because Joyce has his good moments.
About a chapter of Infinite Jest, because I just don't care all that much about it.
None of The Culture of Critique, because I haven't gotten around to it.

very poor wording on my part i was referring to against the day. I've heard so many good things about mason and dixon maybe that will be the next pynchon novel i tackle (though i already own bleeding edge so may as well read that first) come to think of it my backlog is getting a bit out of hand...
