It's a book
The cover is bland.
The content is nice but not spectacular.
Thomas Pynchon doesn't even exist.
He is an A.I from the early days of computers.

I'm reading Inherent Vice right now, I'm surprised how much of a breezy read it is compared to his earlier stuff. How does Bleeding Edge compare in that regard?

Inherent Vice is top 3 Pynchon, along with Gravity's Rainbow and Mason & Dixon. Haven't read Against the Day yet though.

I'm really enjoying IV

It's great. The movie is alright but leaves out a fair bit that is relevant and interesting. If PTA wanted to do it justice it should have been an HBO style mini-series.

I bought a copy of this novel before I realized I don't like Pynchon and have never been able to finish it.

worst pynchon, and even worse attempt at being funny

>> No.16228793

I thought parts of it were pretty funny and it did a good job at describing the 911 mood of NYC in a weird cyberpunky way. Some characters were forgettable but the nose detective is probably one of my favorites from any Pynchon book

Easily his best

I am amazed at how quick are some posters here to assert what the best Pynchon Book is whithout reading his whole ouvre . I am not tryng being negative for the sake of it but i man if you just tried just a little harder ,if you just would read some secondary texts on some of Pynchon's works you would have a completely different oppinion .

The foot job scene and post-9/11 are the best parts.
