Also, it seems like Thomas Pynchon's imaginative plots and tangents where he comes up with ridiculous and hilarious corporate/political situations is lost because he has to spend so much fucking energy trying to create a world which no fucking reader besides for people who have a Ph.D in that particular era of history can appreciate because we don't know what the fuck he's commenting on and what the political/religious relationships are between all of the countries. I've just finished the first part and I'm considering not continuing and starting Against The Day. Does anyone else find the antiquated language irritating and tedious? I only understand about 70-75% of what they're saying because their vocabulary and syntax is so fucking exaggerated, which makes the whole reading experience really shitty, as not being confident in what the speaker is saying is not the best recipe for enjoying Pynchon's dense plots.
