I’ve never read a book that reads as smoothly as this one and that has engrossed me as effectively or immediately as this has. I’m absolutely enamored and in love with the story and world that is being built and how that is being done.

Really into the rhythm of this and how it flows. It really feels like this is being dictated to me by someone who is really excited about every detail and goes off on these funny tangents about the people and what they’re like to make sure I’m getting the right image of everyone. Great stuff so far

3 pages into my first Pynchon and a sizable amount of page real estate is devoted to talking about The Shadow and his alter ego. Dude… fuck, yes. I also am really into Pynchon’s writing style and how he’s constructing everything. I’m really excited to dissect it more and become more attuned to it

I didn’t really know what to expect outside of the passages I heard brought up in a Black Casebook episode but man am I hooked. As soon as Capital was brought up as a concept in line with The Eerie I was hooked. A lot of things I’ve always thought about but never really dedicated space or time to explore or concepts that seemed to big to grasp seem to all be topics here, can’t wait to get further in

Liking this so far but it’s just heavy stuff and idk if I can continue going right now because of LA. Hmm
