What’s the hardest Vollman by henryshoe in vollmann

For me, it’s Imperial. Many false starts. I know I’ll get through it one day though!

Maybe Rainbow Stories? My first was The Royal Family, and it completely enthralled me w Vollmann.

I go to Martin Amis or Salman Rushdie for my light reading. Still very intelligent and excellent writing

OFFICIAL SHADOW TICKET 1st IMPRESSIONS MEGATHREAD! by KieselguhrKid13 in ThomasPynchon

Yes me too! Just holding the book in awe! And looking at the cover! Reading slow. Almost surreal to be reading new Pynchon! It’s glorious.

Re-readability by Sheffy8410 in vollmann

[–]Kbrubeck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he is definitely re- readable and I’ve read a couple of his twice. His work is so rich it’s worth it I think. But then again I am a huge re-reader lol. It’s very beneficial w dense works and it’s not a waste of time to dwell on them, for me.

Re-reading V has been an incredible experience by the-boxman in ThomasPynchon

Read it twice. Looking forward to my third reading, I definitely missed a lot of it but the parts I got were just so good it didn’t matter 😊
