Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it. Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card. "Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.

I don't remember his jokes but some of his slapstick is embarassing and i just don't find anything funny from him. Plotline doesn't need to be bowed down but it needs to have to a certain extent some point or something that actually contributes to the book instead of some uninteresting bullshit. His characters generally lack any humanity. The social outcasts, drug users and anarchists he portrays are scum, nothing interesting about them.

embarrassing how? Why do you feel his plots are boring? His characters most certainly do not lack humanity, particularly with M&D and GR.

It's just not fucking funny. If i want a slapstick i watch Buster Keaton. His plots are boring because of the le epic conpiracies that go nowhere. Everything goes nowhere. It's just so drawn out and banal. Nothing meaningful. All flash. M&D has characters but they are not well written. The rest of his books have cardboard sketches, not characters.
I don't like that sort of people and the way he writes about them, i find extraordinarily boring and cringe inducing. Druggies are scum.

That scene always bugged me, as a home brewer I can tell you drinking banana mead which is still active would give you severe stomach cramps. Yeast produces several byproducts when fermenting complex sugars, some of which are metabolic poisons. This is why we leave beer and wine for set periods of time before drinking, to allow those molecules to break down. I drank fresh mead once and spent half an hour rolling on the floor clutching my guts waiting for the cramping to subside.
