    Yeah, aside from Pilgrim himself, Jung is currently the main protagonist.

    The T Clark family book group is currently reading “Gravity’s Rainbow.” Quite a slog. Somebody please tell me it gets easier.

    They say it gets easier after page 50 or 100, can't remember.

    I've read others of his: Mason & Dixon, Inherent Vice, and Against the Day. All good, especially the first two. I'll commit to reading GR one day, but I admit I'm a bit intimidated by the probable slogginess of it.

    @javi2541997 forgot to mention he is currently reading “The Conservation of Snails, Slugs, and Freshwater Mussels.” He has promised us a report when he’s finished.

    I'm a fan. Didn't find it a slog at all. That said, I far, far, far prefer Crying of Lot 49.

    I’ll take your words as encouragement. The good thing about reading it in a book club is that we all encourage each other to keep going. There’s no way I can quit reading it without disappointing my family.

    I will make the report for sure, but I don't know if I will post it here or in The Shoutbox.
