Technical Jargon in GR

>I'm not saying I'm special
You are implicitly, or you wouldn't be asking such a stupid question.
>trying to see if other people had similar experiences
Yes, of course, obviously. Enjoy your club membership.

Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it. Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card. "Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.

I laff pretty hard at humanities plbes
do you even know a manometer from a barometer?

Between this thread and the one about careers I came to the realization of why something felt weird in Veeky Forums.

Veeky Forums regulars are just boring engineers/comp-sci autists that are interested in books for masturbatory purposes like feeling smart or as a shallow pastime/entertainment, not for a genuine interest in literature.

This is also why I found strange Pynchon was so popular here while he's never mentioned or acknowledged in any literature course outside the United States.

>hurr durr i put raeference only nerds will understand xd *snort*

it's not as if his other books contain a similar amount of references like this

m&d was better anyways

Absolutely not, it's mostly humanities students supremely insecure with themselves so they pretend to be STEM majors and lambast other humanities majors to both exercise and reaffirm their self deprecation. The reality is they're going to get a job after graduation and end up fine even if they don't fulfill their literary dreams.

>dude bananas lmao

What did he mean by this?

>Veeky Forums regulars are just boring engineers/comp-sci autists

plenty of regulars are humanities, i can tell. some plebs are probably stem but plenty of people here are way into shit they would have no business caring or knowing about otherwise

>interested in books for masturbatory purposes like feeling smart or as a shallow pastime/entertainment, not for a genuine interest in literature.
Literature doesn't matter, you're going to die one day. Consider that now, buddy. Really get deep into that and consider it hard. Literature's a waste of time, music is a waste of time, everything is a waste of time. Everything is a shallow pastime/entertainment for you, you're going to die one day.

Caught me red-handed.
