Love the book but it makes my fucking head hurt. I wanna read Gravity's Rainbow but I'm afraid if I don't pay enough attention to it I'll have a aneurism trying to understand it. In an unneeded summary of my thoughts Pynchon is crazy good and hella funny but brevity and simplicity are not his strong points. Anyone else feel this way?

I sure as shit hope so. :lol:

I loved The Crying of Lot 49. Why did it make your head hurt?

:) It didn't actually make my head hurt, it's just an analogy I use for him being a very dense author in terms of his writing.
