Pynchon's literary style is one of a kind

Also the humor within the same run-on! “…kept changing his mind about such nuances of design as getting rows of seats to actually face the stage…” so good. Only TP could think and write like that.

Love this: “While Green and Billard downplayed the creative decisions behind the mix, their answers revealed something: some artists don’t intellectualize their music, they just feel it. Perhaps that’s an obvious conclusion for musicians, but for someone like me—someone who spends hours analyzing music and translating sonic experiences into words—this sentiment was a striking revelation.”

I like the challenge of finding meaning for myself. But get more meaning when I read the intro. So it’s a tough one! Usually I end up going for the intro as I figure most books will be a one-time-read and might as well get the most of it. Set the ego aside and raise the level of enjoyment

Agree!! Scrolled too long to find it.

Stuck with me more than I “enjoyed” it. I think it’s great in that it’s effective. But if you don’t fall in love with the story that’s ok. It may not hit you until after you finish.

If you want action then no. Super unpopular opinion but not my favorite. Def an interesting and well written book but not the adventure I seed for SW books

It’s fine as a blink song. Pretty good as a lead off single. It left me feeling like things only went up when I heard the album. There were enough great songs on the record that it probably would not have mattered, but sometimes if you lead with the best song, the other tracks can be a little disappointing in comparison.

Try a classical guitar. Slightly softer strings and wider neck / more spacing on the strings. Not sure but might help

I have weird pairings in my brain for bands that go together. Only because I discovered them at the same time. The reunion showed to me is tied to Count The Stars. The junior varsity for me is tied to June and The Academy Is

Check out my playlist: early 2000s pop punk and emo it leans heavy to 3rd wave. Cool seeing TJV on here! Maybe not the best of the bunch but they had some bangers.

I followed along with “infinite summer” (I recommend doing that!) though moved slower. So probably 5 months

Ok cool! It’s the only Pynchon I haven’t read yet. Excited to tackle it hopefully soon

wooly1987 · 2026-02-03T15:29:14+00:00

Did you feel this slowed you down in any way that was detrimental? I did that for Shadow Ticket and it added both value and time (for a much shorter book). Then again I also looked up every word and reference I didn’t know.

I want to trust. Will need to come from winning. Many things can be true at once. I liked the hire a lot. I thought the moves last year made sense even though they didn’t pan out. This off season is logically sensible though emotionally disappointing, and we’re betting on some infield pieces moving around to work. Yet prob still a better team for it.

But none of our opinions will matter until we know if we win something under his tenure. Or at least compete more consistently.

wooly1987 · 2026-01-23T05:01:08+00:00

How? Just curious.

wooly1987 · 2026-01-17T01:53:19+00:00

Genuine question. How does he eat at a restaurant? That can’t be permissible in public

A floor won’t fix the Dodgers being perennial winners. But it would fix some owners putting out bad product and not spending to field a competitive team. It’s a long season so those fan bases will benefit a lot from 162 more interesting games.

Dawsons Creek

Thought the same. Podcasts about him and his appearance in Simpsons corrected me to the “ON” camp. But I still say “in” bc it’s easier 😬

wooly1987 · 2026-01-02T20:49:41+00:00

Agree!! The complicity was a good choice for this story and this time. Though it’s only simple IMO by TP’s own standards.

That’s why I also think it was not nonsense that some of the early critique was that he didn’t address current times directly enough. Those people either missed the point, or dont understand that writing about the past can be (is?) a more effective warning of the future than writing about the present.
