 "Recently, *Time* magazine published a list of the 100 best novels. But the
praise of professional critics hardly matters to the book-reviewing readers
at Amazon.com <http://Amazon.com>. A compilation of the best of the worst…
about the best."
 ...
 *Gravity's Rainbow* (1973)

*Author:* Thomas Pynchon

"When one contrasts Vonnegut's *Slaughterhouse-Five* with this book, it's
like comparing an Olympic sprinter with an obese man running for the bus
with a hot dog in one hand and a soda in the other."
