Where did you find a copy? English translation copies are scarce/expensive. Are you reading it in Portuguese or Spanish? The university library here has it only in Portuguese. They do have his Third Bank of the River and his Sagarana in English and I am planning to read one of those though they aren't on the list. I'll have to try interlibrary loan.

[Nocturnalux]

It is very hard to find. I borrowed an English copy before the libraries closed. It was a fairly old edition with yellowing pages. I imagine the book has been out of print for quite some time. It is definitely worth finding. It is one of my favorites from the list.

[Diane]

Starting the second volume of Monkey: The Journey to the West.

[Birthe]

Kathleen wrote: "My first time reading Pynchon so I have no idea what his writing is like. At least it’s short."

Short with a lot of tangential avenues
