<<hi... I just finished reading my first Pynchon
novel,
Gravity's Rainbow, and I was wondering if anyone had
any ideas about what I should try next? I'm a complete
novice (and will probably be re-reading Gravity's
Rainbow for a while), but I'd love to hear what your
favorites are or other authors you enjoy. Thanks!
