Just finished this... holy shit. That ending was fucking bizarre. Are the rest of Pynchon's books as good as this? Which one should I read next? The only other one I have read is Inherent Vice.

No, all downhill from here. Read Dylan instead.

is it even that good? where would you rank it out of all the books you've read?

V. and Mason & Dixon are on GR's level, and some make a case for Against the Day as well

what's the deal with rocket 000000 crashing into the theatre? What was the image?

I'm not the OP, but GR is kind of weird. There is a lot of things I really like about it, but sometimes the way Pynchon does things can get on your nerves. Overall, I think it is a very enjoyable experience and the prose is really solid. There a handful of passages that I re-read every now and then because I like the way they are written.

I do think it's a pretty fun book to read.
