I'm really excited to read this. Can someone hype it up even more for me?

Just reached the end of part 1 and beginning of part 2 (Iceland Spar). Wtf?!?! What was that?

Dude it's such a good book you should read it. It's amazing, just like all of Pynchon's other works. Confusion, paranoia, goofs and gags!

It's pretty straightforward, but there's the usual Pynchonian fantasmagoria that won't make any sense on first reading.

Did you know that the Traverse family is related to Zoyd Wheeler from his other novel? There's a family tree on one of these pynchon wikis

I'm the person who was thrown by the traveling into the earth and encountering warring gnomes poster. I'll admit I'm reading more to pick up on style so I'm not horribly concerned with missing some things here and there, but I really wasn't expecting that kind of bizarre, out of the real world, twist. More so because I've read other Pynchon books and wasn't aware he actually did stuff like that. I had been wondering how the chums ended up going from India or wherever to the Arctic but wasn't expecting that fantastic storytelling. It's something I'm welcoming however.
