bibliotequeish 's review for:

Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon
2.0

oof

Before I read this book, I saw this article about "How to read a Thomas Pynchon Novel" It included tips like, finding a quiet comfortable reading space, it included pictures ... I thought it was hilarious.

And then I started reading Gravity's rainbow... I read the first 100 pages, and then went back and read it again, because clearly I missed something.
After reading the first 100 pages again, I realized I was still lost.  

This was one of the most challenging books I have read. 

And after all that, I didn't even enjoy it.
