Which Pynchon novel should I start with?

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 11:32:00 2021 No.17310052 No idea. I read Crying of Lot 49 and it was torture to get through it.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 11:35:17 2021 No.17310073 >>17310044 Not crying of lot 49 - its maybe his most overrated and was a pynchon potboiler. I'd say inherent vice. All his other books i've read besides lot 49 have been awesome and i've read Thom up to inherent vice

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 11:46:08 2021 No.17310130 >>17310062 It just seemed wacky for the sake of wackiness. It didn’t resonate with me at all

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 14:22:47 2021 No.17311337 >>17310044 They're all the same, in essence. Read the plot summaries on Amazon and pick the one that seems the most interesting.

Your writing is shit, and you should feel bad that you're even trying to weasel your way into the same sentence as Pynchon, you fucking hack.
>>17310044
Just start with GR, idiot. I'm dumb as shit, and I still managed to read it and glean most of its meaning. What, are you dumber than me, you big stupid idiot?

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 14:29:20 2021 No.17311391 >>17310311 Kill yourself

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 14:49:03 2021 No.17311557 >>17310044 It’s generally recommended to start with inherent vice

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 17:10:58 2021 No.17312703 >>17310311 >shilling from a phone >not even a computer legitimately kill yourself

>>	Anonymous Sun Jan 17 20:06:22 2021 No.17314104 >>17310044 I started with GR before I even knew who Pynchon was, I just liked the cover and the title desu, I still think its the best place to start.
