S...Thomas Pynchon has a book coming out this year!<br /><br />So I'm done IJ now.. and I feel like it's both accessable and inaccessable at the same time. I didn't bang my head against the wall while reading, and thought "Oh I understand what's going on here"... until I was done... and THEN I was like "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" And I'm still trying to work that out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749031091155130228.post-11634926756797938732012-11-06T17:35:50.112-08:002012-11-06T17:35:50.112-08:00No, T Pynch is alive and well!No, T Pynch is alive and well!Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749031091155130228.post-16835226331443769042012-11-05T05:34:59.676-08:002012-11-05T05:34:59.676-08:00I'm 20% through Infinite Jest.

I psyched myself up for the most challenging read ever, but I think the size is the most intimidating thing about the book. <br /><br />I am finding it a little slow starting. I'm still waiting for that "OMG this guy's a genius" moment, but I have a feeling I won't be disappointed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749031091155130228.post-72752076835148746432012-11-03T10:54:52.964-07:002012-11-03T10:54:52.964-07:00Great review.

I had a lot of trouble getting into this one in the first few chapters and, daunted perhaps by the prospect of continuing on for another gazillion pages, DNFed it.
