If you want to understand the root of @*VegasVagina's bitterness, this is where it began... 

@*VegasVagina asked me to recommend a novel by Thomas Pynchon, America's Shakespeare... 

So I explain that most readers find his big books overwhelming...but a few of his smaller works are quite "accessible"...and I think I recommend Vineland. 

Being @*VegasVagina, he insisted on The Big Game.....the Everest of post ww2 American fiction. For a sense of what a monument Gravity's Rainbow is, read the story of its Pulitzer nomination.

900 pgs...the book is a Beast.. 

@*VegasVagina didn't get past the 1st paragraph.

Why mention it(other than to illustrate what a cretinous **** @*VegasVagina is, of course)? 

Paul Thomas Anderson is taking a second crack at Pynchon. This time with Vineland.

I'd read the book first.
