Once upon a time, I read a couple of his books.

Boring.

He could hit me over the head with a baseball batin broad daylight, and I wouldn't care who he is.

I made it through "Vineland". I'm not a boomer: It didn't mean shit to me.

I made it about a third of the way through "Gravity's Rainbow" before I just couldn't take it any more.

Is it only coincidence that Pynchon refuses to show his face?
