Doing #Gravity’sRainbow again a-and golly here comes nurse Darlene, and I have to stop, and take a minute, and prepare for the joy of Mrs. Quoad and the wine jellies.

So, book club question.
Is the screaming that comes across the sky the siren that Zhlubb hears in the last few pages?🚀
Was the dream a prophecy?

One of my favorite quotes from a book that is overflowing with great quotes: "Might there have been fewer crimes in the name of Jesus, and more mercy in the name of Judas Iscariot?" -- Thomas #Pynchon, #Gravity'sRainbow

I’m enjoying #gravity’srainbow 🚀 though still not quite sure what I’m in for.
My pattern-seeking brain is really hoping that these are Chekov’s bananas, destined to play a key role in whatever constitutes the third act.

Eugene is such a great musician, made so many beautiful records, disheartening that every time he's mentioned he gets second billing to a certain grunge musician who plagiarized his biggest hit from a little ditty #ThomasPynchon wrote in #Gravity'sRainbow.

I'm four sections into Part 2 of Gravity'sRainbow, and I'm following what's happening way better than in Part 1

I haven't seen that cover art before, it's tremendous. Phil's first masterpiece. Ideas therein ransacked for The Truman Show and #Gravity'sRainbow by #ThomasPynchon.
Companion or parallel novel to my absolute favourite #PhilipKDick book, Confessions of a Crap Artist.

I'm trying to finish Thomas Pynchon's #Gravity'sRainbow and I'm just SO CLOSE to the end, even though I don't understand it and have wanted to chuck this to the little free library box down the street a long time ago....
Who told you that you have to finish every book you start?

In the 'A Book You Want People To Think You've Read But Haven't Actually Read' category #StephenKing selects #Gravity'sRainbow by #ThomasPynchon.
And if you ain't going to read it, it's definitely the edition with the tremendous #FrankMiller cover that you shouldn't read.
