What are y'all's thoughts on Against the Day? I finished Mason & Dixon like a week, and have been debating whether to get it or no.
Second, where do you think I could order a copy of Gravity's Rainbow, be it the orange-cover or the Vintage edition? In Amazon and B&N you can only get the Penguin Deluxe one, and, even if it has only one sentence chopped off, I want that sentence complete when I read it.

Also, /pinecone/ general. You know the drill.

I recently read TCL 49, but didn't fall in love.
It was ok.

Is GR much better?

I've only read V., CoL49 and M&D, but I'd say, definitely stick with him. To me, Crying read like a sort of airport novel, just a breeze, but a really good one. Didn't fall in love either. But reading his long novels feels like being immersed for a few weeks or a month in a particular world of his, each with a particular "feel" to it. I'd recommend M&D more than V., tho.

Against the Day is best Pynchon since Vineland. It's fucking great. Really funny, strange, endless and unforgettable.
