So is there any point in reading after finishing this? Isn't it all downhill from here?

It'll sure feel like that for a while. You'll grow out of it ~5 years or so

Man, he really ain't that great. Go back and read some Joyce or something.

If you only read for pussy points, yes. If not, read the authors that inspired Pynchon, namely, Gaddis and Hawkes. I also recommend reading Lowry, whose style is, more or less, similar to Pynchon's.

Lowry and Pynchon are similar in style...? I didn't find this at all and I've read Under the Volcano and The Forest Path to the Spring by Lowry and TCOL49 and V. by Pynchon.

Not necessarily. Re-reading it is immeasurably better, as I am currently

They aren't, of course, identical, but their word use and the ways they structure their sentences seem similar to me. Don't take as a fact, I guess; rather, a suspicion. I'm nowhere near an expert on either of them, after all.

If your writing is anything to go by, your opinion is trash.
