Gravity's Rainbow
by Thomas Pynchon
What to say ... well, there is some amazing writing, and not shockingly, this famously dense book does feel like a slog much of the time. Highly sexual, very humorous, good, I guess.
Gravity's Rainbow is an anti-war story centered around the German V-2 rocket and a weaponized penis. Yep. The first couple hundred pages are the hardest then you can drop into the flow of Pynchon and might enjoy his unique, distinct language. Every page has a story, it's wild.
Not my favorite book. Not a friendly book. Maybe written by an alien? Flashes of genius, I think. Read it, or don't. In the time it takes you could enjoy five bona fide great books, so there is that consideration. Can see people loving or hating this book...it wore me out but I liked it.
