The superior Pynchon novel

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 19 03:33:55 2020 No.14751798 >>14751790 I prefer it over Inherent Vice but it doesn't even come close to his earlier works. It's still better then most of the shit that was churned out this century.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 19 03:38:51 2020 No.14751809 About once a month, I remember once again that he's still alive only to immediately ponder about the release of his next book.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 19 03:42:47 2020 No.14751818 >>14751790 It was definitely better than people claimed. I really liked it. It was simple for a Pynchon.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 19 05:06:42 2020 No.14752039 >>14751980 Big fucking yikes It was ok I suppose, maybe moreso for one who affiliated with the period

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 19 05:10:39 2020 No.14752046 'Against the Day' is peak Pynchon.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 19 07:46:12 2020 No.14752409 It was nice, but simple. Not nearly as psychedelic as I expected. Did like the fact that the back flap teases a Jerry Seinfeld Camo that never happens

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 19 08:09:50 2020 No.14752480 >>14751790 you didnt find it weirdly anti-semitic?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 19 08:43:21 2020 No.14752567 >>14752480 Antisemitic? Yes Weirdly? No

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 19 13:56:54 2020 No.14753834 >>14752480 Huh? I found it very Semitic...how is anti-Semitic? Jews are not presented badly...it shits on WASPs if anything

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 20 00:47:22 2020 No.14756742 What was the creature thing in the Hamptons house

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 20 01:08:17 2020 No.14756813 That part where they are inside the computer program was fantastic. Pynchon is truly a master of the craft. Better than any other cyberpunk depiction of the matrix etc

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 20 07:21:35 2020 No.14757743 >>14756742 Maxine says it sort of resembles a child. I thought it might have to do with the time-travelling child assassin plot that Windust is alledgedly part of, but I couldn't find anything about it

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 20 13:16:45 2020 No.14759022 >>14757044 I hope this is correct because V and BE are the only ones I've read and they were both only okay for me. Def going for GR next

>>	Anonymous Thu Feb 20 15:42:36 2020 No.14759798 >>14759022 Crying Lot is better than that anon has listed (personally I would it’s say his 3rd or 4th best) but the rest of it is pretty accurate.
