For sources and general orientation to GR, especially pop culture 
references, there is Weisenburger's GR Companion. But otherwise, if I 
were to study P's work (which I haven't  done in other than the most 
happazard and fragmentary way),  I'd want to approach him from the 
narratology angle. The way he tells the story. His style, e.g., the way 
he uses voices and points of view, is what makes  Pynchon Pynchon. For 
me anyway.  I don't know who's the best author, but if you want to read 
something free on the Internet, you might google samuli hagg. His study 
is academic, but he writes well, a Finn who sounds like a native English 
speaker. Maybe he is one.
