It's short and just weird enough. Perfect pandemic read. "V" and "Gravity's Rainbow" are brilliant but serious investments of time and sanity. I don't recommend these as first reads. "Vineland" is good and accessible. So is "Bleeding Edge." If you just want to get a taste of Pynchon, rent "Inherent Vice," the only movie ever based on his work. Faithful as it can be to his noir stoner detective novel. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wZfs22E7JmI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> For this particular context.

Do you recommend V, 49 or Rainbow first? Here's one for you, it will do in a Pynch. <em>The Magus</em> by John Fowles. The original edition, if you can find it, not the subsequent revision. My friend ER named his second sailboat after it. But I googled it anyway.
