I really loved Gravity's Rainbow the first time that I read it, but I feel like Blood Meridian is the better book now that I've had time for both to sink in.
GR is more outlandish but Blood Meridian is a very creative and compelling book, and is itself very dreamy but in a different way. I feel like GR is more schizoid and BM feels like an ancient or biblical story in the novel.

If I had to choose between McCarthy or Pynchon as writers, I'd have to go with the former, because GR is the only book by Pynchon in this league of "good," whereas McCarthy has several.

Pynchon also has M&D and Atd. V. and Lot 49 are also good books though somewhat overrated. I agree about McCarthy having several good books, this board only reads Blood Meridian and it's not even necessarily his magnum opus.

anon it's obvious you've migrated from pol over here to find books to read which is good but being cautious about books this way in some 20iq attempt at avoiding Jewish driven propaganda meant to subjugate and wipe out the Aryan race is only going to divert you from excellent books like it almost did here and cloud ur understanding of important works because you're so desperate for them to fit into ur pol narrative. Such propaganda does exist don't get me wrong but not in the canon, looking for it is only going to hinder your comprehension of books. Pls fix ur brain and stop seeing opposing ideology and da juice in everything you see

The Major Marvy section is comedic. Use of nigger in BM is completely serious. I don't have to tell you which is more based, do i?
