v. by thomas pynchon. would u recommend it?

Answer 1

'V.' was his first novel and a great first novel. By all means read it. Then, when you've become a Pynchon fan, move on to 'Gravity's Rainbow.'

Thomas Pynchon has more than his share of critics and detractors but I think a great deal of this is because he requires that the reader think for themselves. His later novels are full of oddball and obscure references that might drive some readers crazy, as if filling us in on some inside jokes about the irony and madness of the human race. But that's what makes him a joy to read.

He expects you to think for yourself, to fill in the blanks, so to speak. If you've willing to do this you'll love reading him.

Have fun.

Answer 2

Sure, but more so I recommend Gravity's Rainbow by Pynchon.

Answer 3

I have to admit I haven't read any of those--but I live in frickin' Europe if that counts for something--but these are fairly weird and good: The Time-Traveller's Wife--Audrey Niffenegger Douglas Coupland--especially All Families are Psychotic I think the author is John Wyndham, he wrote The Chrysallids, Day of the Triffids, and The Midwich Cuckoos anything by Patricia Highsmith

Answer 4

i recommend anything by him if you're diagnosed with a disease and only have 6 months to live.i promise you it will be the longest 6 months of your life. also they make great doorstops.
