>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 1 08:30:06 2014 No.5370899 Do people here actually like Pynchon? He's like a kid full of sugar trying to keep your attention. There's no heart, just lame dad jokes

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 1 08:42:56 2014 No.5370936 All of Pynchon's books since Against the Day have been genre pastiches (adventure, detective, cyberpunk), I wonder what he's going to do next
