How "difficult" is this?

I was able to make it through Ulysses fine (except Oxen of the Sun. Fuck that chapter). I don't want to be reading a plot summary of every chapter when I finish them.

But does meme=bad?
Ask urself that m8

What did you think of IJ

but I love memes

first 500 pages is to weed out the plebs

Not as good as GR but still man, a great meme nonetheless.

The argument itself is quite twisted, and then there's the prose. It certainly is not fluent or easy to read, bit it is not difficcult for obscurity's sake. I think it's an amazingly rich and gratifying read, so it's worth a little effort. I'm currently rereading the novel justo to enjoy the prose. Some passages and pages have such lyrism and beauty that resemble long poems, and I'd put it up there with the greats of the 20th century. Don't listen to the memeists.

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.

does GR even have chapters? I picked it up once and it didn't seem to have any from flipping through it

meme, yes
waste of time, no
