I especially like what this person says about the "critics"...right on.

"I do feel the snobbery surrounding Pynchon is unfair. You can read
him and take away your own rewards, as little or large as you can
carry. In this most celebrity-driven society that we are in, the
message seems to be "You are TOO dumb for this". I can't believe that.
As a bookseller, I strive to put the most challenging reads into hands
& eyes that might not have noticed and I sure as Hell don't want
anyone skerred off because it's Too Hard, Too Literary, Too Obscure.
Every new Thomas Pynchon release brings forth the same cry from the
critics. "Sniff, yes it's an ok book, but doesn't show the brilliance
of his last work. sniff". And what was it they had said about that
previous book upon it's release? "Sniff." It isn't until his next book
is out on the market that the previous volume is declared His Best,
and that this one simply doesn't measure up."

Help the General win the war against francoslamunistofascism."
