Alright fuckers, let us settle this debate once and for all... Infinite Jest or Gravity's Rainbow?

Which of these two pretentious, genial and hilarious novel takes the crown of the best novel of our time? They're mechanically similar, and should be compared IMO. Well, it's here folks, that's where we draw the line.

IJ or GR?

I think Gravity's Rainbow personally, though both made me laugh madly. I find it more poetic, more beautiful, though less humane. IJ hits the feels.

Pic very much related.

Maybe I totally missed something about IJ, but I really don't think the two novels are even comparable. GR is so clearly superior to me.

Ya I don’t think this is really even a contest, and I like IJ

But GR just works on so many more levels; clearly the superior book
