I just bought:
Gravity's Rainbow
The Trial
Generation of Swine
Walden
Naked Lunch
Which should I read first? I'm trying to cover my "classics" bases.

I too bought Gravity's Rainbow today (6.50 whaddadeal!).

I also bought DH Lawrence's stories titled "The Prussian Officer." I read the eponymous story; lots of homoerotocism. It's interesting how he shunts the homosex away from England and onto German soldiers. I don't know, it was quite weird.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 12 21:50:42 2012 No.2478779 >>2478760 Considering nobody outside of the US has even heard of that piece of shit I'd say you've paid at least 10 dollars too much. DH Lawrence I can abide. You have fun with that.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 12 22:15:42 2012 No.2478865 I have no clue ,but read Naked Lunch before Gravity's Rainbow. Pynchon was influenced a lot by Burroughs

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 12 22:25:43 2012 No.2478898 >>2478704 HOW ARE THEY EVEN CLASSICS? ONLY WALDEN AND PERHAPS THE TRIAL WOULD CONSTITUTE IT.
