Gravity's Rainbow by Pynchon

i keep meaning to read his work but for now i'll just pretend i have :[ (is busy)

http://www.time.com/time/2005/100books/the_complete_list.html

seems pretty good to me. at least a fifth of those authors are the greatest we've ever seen.

orwells, waughs, millers, pynchons (?), nabokovs, faulkners, woolfs.

beckett, too. of course this also excludes almost all philosophers. camus? i wouldnt go by books. if you hear about a greatest author read their least-known or first-written book. i think they're always a lot more telling. crome yellow, anyone? a happy death? burmese days?

And Nabokov has two books in that list.

or maybe its on that lists. Those who are irritated by my illiteracy can complain as much as they want. But remember, I am The Anonymous.

>>3 Goddammit, you just made me remember the coprophiliac, now I have to go wash my brain out.

Jerzy Kosinski is very good. Read Being There - its only like 100 pages long, and I liked it more than The Painted Bird.
