Zak Smith, an artist and ardent Thomas Pynchon fan, reads from Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" in his cramped apartment in New York's Brooklyn borough in this Nov. 2, 2006 file photo. Smith illustrated each page of the book with a drawing. One of those drawings is on the computer screen behind him. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)

Ahhh, another hefty Pynchon book to try to get through. I'm looking forward to it.

    I started Gravity's Rainbow but got waylaid by life. I hear V is a better starter...?

      Sometimes a self-indulgent pose is so good, it makes no sense to criticize the art. Is Gravity's Rainbow differentiable? Is there an approximation of truth that Pynchon's readers can agree upon as rationalism approaches 0?

      I'm greatly looking forward to reading, Against the Day, though I'll be no closer to it than I am now.
