Sweet, I read all of Pynchon's books last year and it was fucking wild. I just ordered 8 books a couple days ago, but they haven't arrived yet. I got:
Sabbath's Theater and American Pastoral by Philip Roth,
The Lost Scrapbook and The Easy Chain by Evan Dara,
and Hard Boiled Wonderland, Norwegian Wood, Wind-up Bird Chronicle, and Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. I'm a bit skeptical about the Murakami books, but they do sound interesting.

Should I go to the library? I don't want to read on a screen.

do pirated epubs count?

Yes.
You wont get every book you want though, some will have to be bought or read on the screen. My library doesn't have the Pickwick Papers for example, but I'm in a sort of rural area
If you live in a city, or even a larger suburbia, you have no excuse to buy every book you want to read

He does seem to be loved and hated in equal measure. I've read plenty of people praising him and plenty shitting on him. I figured the only thing to do was come to a conclusion myself.
