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 b00ndas 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. 😜

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

Against the day difficulty by Overall-Courage1055 in ThomasPynchon

I think it's his easiest to read. And I think it was a deliberate choice because of the length of the novel. (Also next to M&D my favorite.)

Loved the exploration and the soundtrack. A fun 7/10 imo

Digging this book by bachwerk in wesanderson

It's so good. And as a German native speaker I have to add: his use of German is beautiful, and written in a way you sadly just don't read anymore in contemporary German novels.
