Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. I feel like it left me subtly but permanently changed, as if seeing through new differently tinted lenses.

- clairity 6y agothat book left me feeling like i’d wrestled a bear to a draw, and it was still staring at me contemplating a round 2.
- jeffreyrogers 6y agoI haven't read that one, but I read Mason & Dixon when I was in college. I knew just enough history and scientific trivia to know that Pynchon was playing a lot of highly intelligent games and to realize that a lot was flying over my head, but not enough to really appreciate the book. Would be interesting to revisit it again.
- joi_de_vivre 6y agoBefore reading Gravity's Rainbow, I read every book with a voice in the back of my head telling me that I should have thought of that idea first, I could've done that story better. Pynchon killed that part of me and I'm not sure if it will come back--not that I'm complaining.
