sensibly chuckling at this large ass book in the library

mary and percy shelley lowkey are the blueprint for literary power-couple. and damn published at 20 years of age!!!

how do you publish this at 26 years old man

many thoughts on this book (positive) on themes and the like. it’s a shame thomas pynchon will most likely pass sometime in the next ten years or so and we then have to be stuck with rebecca yarros and that god awful fourth wing shit. what is coming out today that’s going to be talked about 50-60-100 years later. a little life? some crap from andy reid? i hope not. i don’t know anything. i’m a fool. foolish

germans are nasty people nasty nasty evil devils

Absolutely filtered for the past two weeks by the Stencil chapters. I get the point of their existence as the appearances of the V. and a narrative connector to past and current versions like the V mirror structure but also they’re oh so long. Where is Pig Bodine I say. I miss Pig Bodine.

can’t even play peggle anymore without feeling sick. those rat bastards. at what cost! at what cost!!!!!!!

“He got that feeling now. Here in this room an old man had killed and boiled a catechumen, had committed sodomy with a rat, had discussed a rodent nunhood with V., a future saint — depending which story you listened to.”

Three chapters of a debut novel have more substance than some authors entire careers.

Always a different concept. Rockets and Physics, Maxwell’s Demon and Thermodynamics, Computer Science and Television, and the Daisy Chain and Electrical Engineering.

Some reheated Nabokov nachos. Khia author Thomas Pynchon.

Love the focus on V. as a concept, of similar and different. Receiving and Transmitting. Electricity.

Has WASP/Catholic background Thomas Pynchon earned his honorary Jewish status?

I’d say so but i can’t really decide that.

this guys a real jerk!

crying at the tragic end of the sancho panza governor saga and the dastardly donkey swallowing hole

The #GravitysRainbowInternship Grind continues

The shortest and most vulgar set of episodes out of the bunch:

A representative of the old guard is made out to perform an inversion of seven-stages of ascension in Jewish mysticism, the Merkabah, laced with scat and race-relations.

Singing mice and rats form beautiful chrysanthemum flowers.

Zoot suits, plastics, proverbs for paranoia, yin and yang, ghosts. The Zone

sancho panza im answering your call.

shaking with excitement at the thought of my beloved hero sancho panza getting his island

I’ve been passively listening to the Gravity’s Rainbow audiobook as this internship goes along.

The first go-round on this book is shooting yourself in the face with a firehouse. Then like 300 pages in you get used to it.

Everything is layered and dense and there’s 10 references to various music, mathematics, or physics, pop culture per page

The relationship between comic grossout and tragic war is beautiful

going Sancho Panza mode on you bitches

being employed at a job cuts down on my knight errant reading.

I respect the Bokononist foot ceremony

Guy who only reads Pynchon and watches Wes Anderson movies: “Getting a lot of Pynchon and Wes Anderson vibes from this”

If I was living in a Spanish mud hut in the 1600s and I was hit with some meta-fiction narrative addressing the complaints said about the first half within the confines of the second I think that witchcraft would’ve been involved

He’s running the nonchalant gimmick

don quixote brain break

‘You are a villainous wretch,’ Don Quixote burst out, ‘and you are the one who is empty and a fool, and I am fuller than the whore of a bitch who bore you ever was.’ p.468

Finished part one!

Kinda struck me as they all were laughing at our famous knight in a fistfight with a goat herder that he was the OG lolcow. Chris-chan, Daniel Larson, Tophiachu all hail from the enabling and joy from a mentally ill guy

have to atleast be kind to my aunt and read this. far more competent than it could be

can the hundred page story within a story and tangentially related cuck saga end please i want don quixote and sancho back hurting themselves

we on that sancho panza shit all summer. hell yes we getting those 3-4 donkeys from our masters estate after he goes up into the mountains to bash his head into a rock to win the heart of his gal

in the early 17th century they knew what all the funny stuff was. vomit, shit, horses, mental illness. all the funny stuff

he’s so noble

guy from one piece
