“No contemporary author writes like Thure Erik Lund. With an enormous linguistic thrust, and an abundance of original thoughts and ideas, this time, Lund develops a novel that claims to be written by an artificial intelligence several centuries in the future. Lund (…) challenges us both linguistically and thematically. (…) Not a book for everyone, but definitely one for those who want to give the most innovative of Norwegian contemporary literature a go.”

There some characters that are important in V. who show up in passing or minor roles in GR. You also get a feel for Pynchon's writing style in V. and get to see it develop greatly in GR. I feel that those two things would make you appreciate GR more than if it's the first Pynchon you read. Additionally there's the theory put forth by the paper "Finding V." about the nature of V. that suggest an even stronger link between the two novels.

Surprisingly, To Have and Have Not.

It felt like (a) he'd worked through the "young author fictionalizes his past" feel that the first two books had and (b) he'd delved into some contemporary pulps for a bit more of a meaty story.

I really enjoyed it.

Of course his prose is beautiful throughout. There's an account of sailfish-fishing in the 3rd book that rivals though does not match the bull fighting scenes of the first book. I don't think anything in A Farewell to Arms matched either scene.

All in all it felt like youth doesn't suit him and he was a born 50-something who needed to grow into his age. I'm just getting started with Bell so I can't really say anything about it.

I had read Old Man years ago and wanted to see if my interpretation was still sustainable, so I figured I'd read the rest of his novels this time around for better context.

Saying something like "I've never hated a book more" makes you sound stupid. I don't care if you liked it or disliked it, but in my experience, people who strongly hate things like Slaughterhouse Five are complete morons, because they either hate it because it's popular, or because they're stupid.

Vonnegut pretends he is much smarter than he is.

He talks down to his readers. Does everything but straight up calls them dumb.

He sets up half-baked pseudo-philosophical "ideas" and does absolutely nothing with them, while actively trying to blow your mind with how "great" these ideas are. He is manipulative and condescending. His prose is weak.

This is the jist of my feelings towards him and Slaughterhouse-5. I can go into detail, but I don't think anybody here honestly cares.
