Well, I'm done...

[Bryan Snyder]

Since reading AtD, I tell those who ask me which they should read first
this:

 

"GR is better but AtD is more fun."

 

And I say that meaning that the average reader will enjoy ATD more during
the actual act of reading than GR. I didn't I liked GR much more but I think
I'm weird so.

 

But I'm in the same boat. finishing up Vineland which I'm enjoying far more
than I thought I would, then I get to hit up Slow Learner and Mason and
Dixon.  Can't WAIT!

That's right. Finished Gravity's Rainbow on Saturday. Have now read all of
Pynchon's novels at least once. 

Guess it's time to start on them again!

I have lots of things to say about GR, especially wrt the relation to ATD,
but I'm starting ATD again and want to take a few days to let my thoughts on
the subject digest. 

Which book is "better"? Right now I'm leaning towards GR... but not by much.
