Henry Miller, an admitted influence of TRP, includes Powys' Visions and
Revisions on his list, The Hundred Books That Influenced Me Most. 

Among the other mentions are Nadja, Journey To the End of the Night,
Siddhartha, Ulysses, Tao Teh Ch'ing, The Satyricon, Gulliver's Travels,
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Leaves of Grass.

I'd be surprised to find that Pynchon's missed more than one of these,
