Entirely subjectively:Bleeding Edge is a big book, but very easy to read for Pynchon. Crying is tiny, but dense. Vineland isn&#x27;t huge but I found it hard going (but entertaining and worthwhile). Inherent Vice is a similar size to Vineland but an easier read.

Interesting, I&#x27;ll check one of those other books out. The library I go to only ever seems to have his doorstoppers on the shelf.

I&#x27;ve read four Thomas Pynchon novels, probably the shortest and most accessible four:The Crying of Lot 49, Bleeding Edge, Inherent Vice, and Vineland.I have Gravity&#x27;s Rainbow and Against The Day sitting in my bookcase, intimidating me with their voluminousity. I dare not start them for fear of how long they will take to finish.Despite this, I look forward to any new Pynchon publications. This new one will take its place on my bookshelf, no doubt.P.S. Inherent Vice is a great movie. Somewhat of a spiritual sequel to The Big Lebowsky.

Huh. Mere beginner. 12 years since his last work and Vikram Seth is watching on, from 1999 with the next one &quot;just around the corner&quot;
