What's to get stuck on? It is not a difficult book, just long.

2666 for me. It's not even hard just boring.

I had to restart it because I didn't pay attention to Mason's relationships with the Peach Family in the beginning of the book. I assumed to was just another instance of Pynchon putting in random characters, and was completely lost by the first third of the novel since they turned out to actually be important

Can someone post the screencap of (possibly) Pynchon giving an interpretation of The Crying of Lot 49?

For me it was The Man Without Qualities. I ended up so exhausted that now after a year I still read slower than before.

I just finished Lot 49. Will Gravity's Rainbow give me the same unsatisfactory feeling that that book did? Because I'm fine with that when it's less than 200 pages but I don't want to read a massive tome and just be left with psychological blue balls
