Is this a safe space to talk about how I started this because a local bookstore was doing a summer-long readalong for it and I was the only person that showed up for the first meeting and I think they cancelled the rest due to lack of interest

No? It's not a safe space? Well you should have said something earlier.

An Atlas-level lift. Of all the significant Big Difficult Books I've read, this might be going for the highest degree of difficulty (maybe Gravity's Rainbow has more but who knows what Pynchon is talking about).

SO bleak. Shockingly funny. Sweeping. Aching. Through only the first third of the book, its greatness is undeniable.
