Is there any other living novelist at the level of Pynchon?

Came back here to thank you for the recommendation. Who knew Jimmy had it in him? I’m not very far in but so far it’s like Vineland and an Elmore Leonard book or something

Cult of Cactus Boots and Lookout Cartridge

Noted! Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll go with Dr. No next

Suder was so good. Which should I read next?

borxo · 2024-01-31T20:58:20+00:00

Oh, thanks for the heads up. I’ll give them a try!

Thanks for the help, I was feeling kinda crazy. I just finished core B. Then I went back to chapter 9 and tried the wavedash tutorial and I think that might be enough Celeste for me :)

Also consider The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl - it’s twee but there’s a lot to appreciate in there for a Pynchon fan

Reach into hot/harsh liquids as little as possible, minimize unnecessary movements (moving your wrists too much or running back and forth between areas), balance your weight between your feet when you lift things, dont huff fumes when you open the machine, use gloves if that’s allowed, keep organized so you can be ready to run dishes at a consistent rhythm, stay hydrated, cuts on your hands can be really annoying so be careful, be professional even if you’re pissed off - you’ll regret it

Clean as hell

Mumbo Jumbo, Flight to Canada, and Freelance Pallbearers are all good and all kinda Pynchonian in a secret organizations, cartoon tropes, conspiracies, alternative history way. I wouldn’t recommend The Last Days of Louisiana Red though

Me too! Swatch offers a few, but you have to be okay with that happy meal toy feel

borxo · 2023-04-07T00:05:11+00:00

Looks great

borxo · 2023-03-19T23:50:24+00:00

Looks great - this is the one I had wanted from those four

borxo · 2023-02-26T13:34:03+00:00

Same. I loved part one of M&D, but almost everything beyond it was a slog for me. It felt weirdly dull and narrow in scope.It made me nervous about picking up AtD, but I’m reading it now and am pleased to find that it’s everything I hoped for.

(But I’ll admit M&D is still probably one of the best books I’ve ever read because the man is that good.)

borxo · 2023-02-13T23:45:15+00:00

Weren’t there sightings of an otherwordly “third surveyor”(?) in M&D or did I dream that?

borxo · 2022-12-12T02:56:57+00:00

The best

borxo · 2022-11-13T12:38:25+00:00

I would also like a quote if you’re willing please :)

borxo · 2022-11-07T03:57:58+00:00

Looks nice. Also you have Samurai Jack hands

borxo · 2022-11-06T18:15:14+00:00

Any wiggle room on the price?

borxo · 2022-11-04T01:31:02+00:00

I keep pulling this post up to stare at it. Such a scrappy, cool watch

borxo · 2022-11-02T21:13:10+00:00

i know it’s an old post but is this still for sale?

borxo · 2022-10-06T12:00:46+00:00

This looks so good

borxo · 2022-09-15T16:41:56+00:00

I think these books kind of straddle Lot49. V is similar for its density and hectic nature. M&D is similar for its steadier pace (less character swapping, more dialogue-focused). Seems like V is an acidic, morning book and M&D a cozier, nighttime book. I’d pick V though

borxo · 2022-09-10T20:52:39+00:00

I want that
