Holy shit!

I just finished that and it was awesome.
The way he constructs his sentences. Pretty cool.

Though it doesn't say much -nothing grand or great, other than the psychological touches but
that was some fine read.

Considering that even Pynchon himself dissed this one, I wonder how his other works are.

What should I read next?

I think it says plenty in the way it plays with genre convention and the lack of explicit playoff, but it is pretty great.

yes, I agree.
It points to itself (as in 'literature'), in that sense but does not offer anything revealing, -an idea, a hope etc- to the reader.

Is he that great?

Tao or Pynchon?

Both are overrated. Pynchon, however, writes better.

Tao.
Yes, I liked the way TP writes. The way he weaves the texture.

Yes, he is an awesome craftsman of words.

One of the finest alive.

You missed all that stuff about cultural entropy and malevolent social forces that would interfere with our agency as individuals?
