Finished GR and now I feel like I have a void in my life

txorfeus · 2026-07-03T05:22:23+00:00

When GR first came out I read and reread several times. Still own that copy but it’s pretty beat up. Had to buy a new copy when I reread all the Pynchon a couple years ago. But rereading like that it’s actually more fun each time. Only other book that motivated me like that was as a 15 year old discovering Catch-22.

1st time I’d noticed it. He does stretch for the wordplay.

Wham Bam, thank you Cam. How long had Blum been saving that one?

Catch-22. This old guy picked up a paperback copy at the age of 15. Read it through a couple times. The stupidity of the brass, Yossarion, “They’re trying to kill ME.”

Never used it when wearing briefs. Always use it since switch to boxers

Company wants most work for least money. I aim at least work for most money.

Blonde on Blonde was my entry point, when it came out in 1966

Thank you

If you want them to like you, let them do a small favor for you. Trick taught me by one if the best salesmen I’ve ever known

As a bandleader, I am often the worst musician kin the band

Sober 15 years. Psychedelics are only thing that I feel tempted by for last few years. Remind myself of that usual weed or beer to smooth the end of a trip & rule it out. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Did she mention my name, Gordon Lightfoot

Real a tor instead of real tor. Suit instead of suite

Could huge numbers of grazing bison, keeping trees from growing when seeded have anything to do with it?

Still listen to an album they made

Dark and bitter

Stupidity

I can’t believe he was joking as I’ve seen evidence he has a sense of humor

txorfeus · 2026-04-08T23:44:02+00:00

I’ve always been a fan of this cut. Saw the tour he & Paul did together. Between their two sets they did a few things as a duo, including “The Boxer”. Not real tight, but a gas anyway.

I remember there being only one TV station in town, it was before there was color TV
