me too t b h but i couldnt resist getting a dig in on a new

Certain things that peaked my interest, like all the corporate stuff (IG Farben etc.). One of my favourite things in the book is how Slothrop's journey mirrors/parodies Christ's life

His whole thing is multiplicity; the book can be a complete joke about nothing while at the same time a hugely meaningful scientific doctrine, and that's the point

i think this dude is just a case of when all u have is a hammer everything looks like a nail, if ur a christcuck and all u have is christianity everything looks like jesus, i don't think there's much evidence that gravity's rainbow is a crypto-christian affair

started reading vineland the other day, bretty good so far but i feel like it's missing something, like so far it's less emotionally engaged than the other stuff I've read by him (v. and lot 49), and those books felt a lot more dense. probably gonna read another of his books real soon though, any recs for where to go next with him? i'm a little intimidated by gravity's rainbow, though i'll definitely have the time for it over summer

vineland is like an early attempt at inherent vice, skip and read that instead, vineland kind of sucks, but if you're already reading it might as well finish it, but it's probably tied for his worst with bleeding edge

Mason & Dixon.
