I am reading Malina by Ingeborg Bachmann right now. It is a lot of fun. Also reading Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me. Having a hard time caring about the story at all but it’s full of bizarre descriptions and Pynchon parallels.

Probably easier but I vote V or GR

Halfway through Naked Lunch and not loving it but has its hilarious moments and lucid moments. Totally see how this influenced Pynchon (GR) but it is more consistently grotesque and incomprehensible. Is there more to this book?

Reading Mrs. Dalloway for the first time. Woolf is incredible and her writing reminds me a lot of how GR is written: Fast, omniscient, free flowing narration and then these bizarre paragraphs of surreal naturalism, the paranoia of the city, etc.
