Used Book in Good Condition
Awesome, since I just picked up the Kindle edition of GR last week along with a thrift copy of this guide.
This wiki page also seems to be pretty cool. I used the same wiki for V a while back and it was a nice/fun reference to have.
It depends on what kind of reader you are. It's supposed to be a complicated book so it would be easy to get bogged down in details.
To each their own.
It's my first time attempting so i'm just going to use the wiki page but in the future when i re-read it i'll pick up the companion.
Just go for it. When you start to lose track of what's going on, which is part of the point of the novel, just start focusing in on the sentence-by-sentence quality of the prose. One of the book's themes is about losing the ability to think in terms of longer time-scales, so the confusion is actually part of the message.
If, tho, you want outside help, the pynchon wiki is great, as is Weisenberger's Gravity's Rainbow Companion.
Bon voyage!
