if you're thinking about either go with The Recognitions first, it pretty much showcases all the themes gaddis is concerned with in the rest of his books

Not op, but I read very slowly and it’s not unheard of that I will only read one big book/novel in a month. I usually sprinkle in a lot of short stories, essays, poetry, but generally I’m only ever working on one big book at a time. btw sucker’s almost 1k pages of tight print.
