keremmermutlu: Haven’t read any Pynchon, but have heard about gravity’s rainbow over and over again. Maybe it’s following me. Pynchon’s all kinds of awesome.  I wouldn’t start with GR though.  Try The Crying of Lot 49 for a taste.  After that, if you’re still into it, I’d do V. Once you’ve done those two GR will make a lot more sense. He references those two a lot, especially V, in GR. I would also get a Reader’s Guide for GR.
