Yay for Milan Kundera!
His other books are good as well, esp the book of laughter and forgetting.

Dotcommunist - If you want to read Pynchon, read The Crying of Lot 49 first.

Why did it make you angry? I found it was like learning to read all over again....
I am still somehow only in the middle of Gravitys Rainbow, even though I started it a long time ago and read it fairly regularly.
It feels like I have always been in the middle and it will always remain that way.
I cant even go back to how it was before.
I would say the Crying of Lot 49 is his best. Gravitys Rainbow is just his Magnum Opus

"A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius- Dave Eggers.
title always made me chuckle and it turned out to be a halfway decent memoir as well

Feels like he's taking the piss you know. Total lack of coherent plotting just pages and pages of him wanking on. I suppose the prose itself is brilliant enough to get away with it but only fucking just.

A friend's ex kept asking us, "do you sometimes think of aliens while having sex, too?"
after having read the book. Dunno why... 
Haven't read it.

The only lasting impressions from the book were.
**draining fluids from his mother's cancerous stomach.
**seeing a whale whilst out canoe-ing.
** Being really poor in San Fransico sounds alright.
** Topher is a good way of shortening Christopher

oof
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a top title

Yeah, i wondered that too, so I picked it up yesterday and leafed through the first pages- I finally found it, on on of the index pages (or whatever that page is called at the beginning where copyright blurb/library index is found),Superdupastupor said:
they'd customised it so that a lot of stuff is written there in very tiny text, and only the readers who bother to scan that page will spot it- If you find that page you'll see what I mean... The author also very conveniently provided a sexual orientation scale and placed himself on it.

Actually, I read that as "Gopher" all the way through...
Now I understand! 
It's still They Thirst for me (despite all this The Dog Who Became a Mountain and Shagged the Apocryphal's Stone in the Night Time etc) really wished I'd thought of that when I fancied myself as a horror writer in the late 80s early 90s.
The title is better than the book per se.
