I think I found it difficult in the sense of its denseness in fact. Well, I find it hard to answer the “difficulty” question with much certainty; I'm equivocating. I don't love it all equally no, that's not the case. There are parts that I prefer immeasurably to others however, simply because I pref...
Best fiction book I've ever read (technically listened to). This is not a typical fiction book. There is a real method to the madness within the story. It's not meant only to divert ones attention from the mundane or entertain, but to explore the human experience from one author's perspective. The ...
This is not a pleasurable read. This is not an unpleasurable read. This is a mind-dissolving read.The absurd coincidence of the Germans’ V-2 rocket bombings locations during World War II and Tyrone Slothrop’s mapping of sexual scores is merely the tip of the iceberg of the monumental illogicality th...
As I read more and more of the "Great Books" I become more and more comfortable with rejecting received opinion about the relative merits of books.

...Wow.I'm not sure quite what I can say about Gravity's Rainbow. I'm not sure I can even write a coherent plot synopsis. It's set in the Second World War - I did manage to work that much out. It follows a whole range of different characters as they cross the various blasted landscapes of WWII, all ...
Per the geekiest conversation ever - sup Matthew and Josh - this is apparently the correct edition of Gravity's Rainbow. Miller's Deluxe Classics edition may have some typos.
One of my favorite books of all time. About everything and about nothing. I know a lot of people consider it unreadable. It did take me three goes just to really get into it.
I knew this book was considered a "difficult read", so I waited for the right time to give it a shot. Right before Hurricane Sandy, when I knew I wasn't going to have any power, or any any work for a few days, I bought the book and looked forward to tackling it head on, without many, if any, distra...
