Although this one doesn't have the reputation of being layered and difficult to understand, I decided to take notes on all of the characters anyway, and it did come in handy, as I was looking up people quite often. Overall, a good book, and I think a great first book for someone looking to try out Pynchon.
After I finished reading, I rewatched PTAs movie adaptation for the first time since its original release, and I was surprised at how true to the book it was most of the time.
I'll also try to get through Bleeding Edge, and take notes on that, before the release of Shadow Ticket later this year.
Anyway the notes can be found here and I hope they'll be of use to someone.

An acid trip commentary on the intersection between what we call law and all of life, normality as a construct, & the psychedelia of hope even in a timeline of watching paradise disintegrate

Rich, fish-tailing, hilarious romp.
Makes you paranoid, wonder if this is something that should reasonably be being analysed/ connected/ significant. Which isn’t that the point, to be made to feel paranoid?
Didn’t necessarily know what was going on most of the time but I did have bloody good fun.
