Is it also valid to draw a comparison to Gravity's Rainbow, or parts 2 and 3 of The Divine Comedy? I ask, because those were on a tier of their own for being impenetrable (to me); I'm worried this will go the same way, but am otherwise intrigued.
Unrelated: Does anyone know of how to get an epub etc of this? Unavailable through Amazon etc.
- greggsy 3y agoThere are several copies on Internet Archive.
- poncho_romero 3y agoI would suggest against an epub. I tried finding one too, only to realize the formatting of the book is ill-suited for anything but its original printed format (it’s far too particular for the epub format). Maybe give your local library a try?

- davedx 3y agoGravity’s Rainbow. I never finished it. It’s more like One Hundred Years of Solitude though; GEB isn’t fiction
- lanstin 3y agoHell is just inherently more interesting to the human mind than paradise or purgatory. I read Ulysses with a book group and a leader that had read it in grad school and a number of books that exist to explain Ulysses. I read GEB as a fourteen year old with no internet access and it changed my life, but the ending isn’t that important. The proof of how the incompleteness theorem works and the stuff on Koans is I think most of the meat.
