Top 5 Thomas Pynchon Books

this is more a miracle than a novel it is everything I've always wanted from literature turned into a book it is a mixture of so many popular genre from lovecraftian horror to Western to adventure story to science fiction time travel story.

bleeding edge is my favorite pinch on Noble not too many people are such huge fans of bleeding edge I understand why to me it's perfect maybe it's because its Reflections and its setting are very close to me.

it's one of those books you should read once in your lifetime but no one's going to blame you if you put it away and never touch it again it's it's a treasure chamber but it's filled with traps it's one hell of a dungeon.

I'm still convinced by far the best introduction to pinchon if you've never read this stuff begin with inherent Vice it is by far the easiest of all pinchon novels and it is as I said one of the best it is a masterpiece.

Mason and Dix is by far the most emotional I would say of Thomas pinch's novels there are lots of Reflections in here about the value of familiar relationships Father and Son relation relations it's a novel about friendship the friendship between the two main characters is possibly the best friendship in pinons over it.

it is extremely enjoyable it's a good introduction to the way he writes he wrote like a from the very beginning you can see some of his early influences like Hemingway for instance you or the Beats.

I think that its problem is that it is a novel that is much more fun to discuss and study for instance at a university level than to read and then that to me is kind of bad.

it is in many ways an enjoyable novel and very thrilling and it has Chase scenes between people with shotgun and alligators in the sewers of New York it has this Chase for this mysterious figure and mysterious City and it's thrilling in so many different ways but it's also very difficult and times feels a lot like a high modernist novel.

I actually think it is a very depressing novel and very bitter sure there are lots of hilarious passages especially in the beginning but in general it is a reflection on the way the 60s as a cultural revolution failed the way popular culture corrupted the 60s.
