A review by lindsaylhunter
Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

Did not finish book. Stopped at 8%.
I'm tapping out. I bought this book about ten years ago, absolutely hooked on the opening line and naively up to the challenge of reading one of the most convoluted books ever written, but ten years apparently wasn't even enough time for me to brace myself for this behemoth. Gravity's Rainbow sees its author spin an intricate web of unenjoyable nonsense. This book was written for the mind of someone smarter than me, and I'm OK with that. Reading something that personally brings me so little joy (to the point where I dread doing my daily reading) isn't a sacrifice I'm willing to make for any book, let alone one over 900 pages long.
