Decided to go back and re-visit a classic.

Gravity's Rainbow

Well I decided to give this one a go because I'm pretentious and I hear this book is too, so we already have that in common. It doesn't seem too bad so far (I've been writing down characters as they come, because I hear that's one of the more difficult elements of the novel), but we'll see how far I get. If anything, I can just sit back and soak in the beautiful language.

I'm slowly going through my collection of e-books at the moment, and this particular novel is ****ing amazing so far.

Good luck. If you make it through you are a better man than I.

Last two books are some of my favourites from two writers I really adore. Nice choices!

Pynchon was too much for me with my class and work schedule. I'll take it up again this summer when I have more free time though. Took up a lighter read instead.

Essential read for sure. Douglas Adams was a treasure.

Pink Floyd were huge fans and even had him up on stage one time.
