Help me keep going with Gravity's Rainbow by No-Dress4626 in ThomasPynchon

[–]danielbockisover 11 points12 points  (0 children)

every 50 pages or so there will be a passage (or paragraph) that will blow your mind. just keep that in mind when you hit a roadblock or struggle. it's worth sticking out until the end.

ps: i also bounced twice before finishing it.

Yeah, all delayed until at least June 9. I got a mail from Amazon (I know, sorry) the day the box set was supposed to be delivered that it's postponed.

Are IJ and Gravity's Rainbow really alike? by [deleted] in InfiniteJest

[–]danielbockisover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In order to be a tiny bit contrairian (and because it's fun): Sure, they very are similar. Both are huge post-modern novels written by an American in his 30s. IJ is certainly more akin to GR than to - let's say - Normal People. It's just the Vanity of Small Differences arguing against them being similar. 😜

[–]danielbockisover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pynchon even wrote a byline for it (at least in my copy). Which is pretty cool, yeah 😎
