What does /lit/ think of Gravity's Rainbow?

>>	redcom !!+Kgteyi5ULQ Fri Aug 27 01:06:59 2010 No.1078027 >>1078022 Hello again. In case you didn't know OP, there's a part of a chapter that is more or less a literary equivalent to 2G1C. Literally.

I was in the Atlanta airport with nothing to do for a few hours.

so I decide I would pick up a book, and then get a drink while I read it.

I narrowed my choices down between Gravity's Rainbow and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim.

I went with Sedaris.

One Day, I will finally read it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 18:45:59 2010 No.1080100 Its not hard to read at all. I'll say that it definitely got better in the last part. Don't take it too seriously though.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 18:49:59 2010 No.1080111 >>1080100 Are you implying Gravity's Rainbow is frivolous?

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 18:53:59 2010 No.1080121 Great book. Some people struggle with the first few hundred pages since they're kind of disjointed, but a fairly coherent plot emerges soon after that. I'm going to go back and read it again soon. Any advice for a second reading?

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 18:55:59 2010 No.1080124 >>1080121 I've heard you could use a guide on your second reading to help with a lot of stuff you missed the first time around.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 18:58:59 2010 No.1080129 >>1080124 Well yeah of course, but a link to a specific guide would be nice.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 18:59:59 2010 No.1080132 >>1080129 No idea. Still have yet to read the book. It's just sitting there..

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 19:53:59 2010 No.1080272 >>1080129 Not a guide, but there's a project where a guy drew a picture for each and every page. ...wish I could find the link.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 21:01:59 2010 No.1080430 It's one of my favorite Klaxons songs.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 21:03:59 2010 No.1080432 got 50 pages into it then threw it on the floor no thanks

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 27 21:06:59 2010 No.1080433 >>1080432 me too except page 500
