Also very excellent and compared to gravitys rainbow sooo easy to read. That could be a good start to the pynchon universe for beginners.
And I think I liked my recent read of Against the Day over GR, an unexpected development.
If you want to take Pynchon head on, I can't recommend 'Against the day' too much.
I've been reading Pynchon's Against The Day for the better part of a decade now. I'm hoping to finish it within the next three or four years.
