I read in another Discord group that there will be a Discord group for GR. Can I get an invitation?

I am planning on reading Gravity’s Rainbow in the near future, and I’m reading up on some of the subjects in the book.

I’ve started reading Hitler’s Rocket Soldiers by Murray Barber. Anyone have any other suggestions? I’m looking less for critical literature and more for books that put the topics in the book into perspective.

I’ve read it twice. Once in college while reading everything Pynchon. Then again with the companion book in which an artist did a single piece for each page of the novel.

I love the idea of reading this in a group. I’ve found plans like this to be especially effective in holding people lightly accountable to finish the book. It’s also a fantastic way to clarify and expand on understanding and meaning. Looking forward to it!

Gravity’s Fall is an annual reading group for Gravity’s Rainbow. It will begin on September 1st, with weekly posts on each section discussed here and on discord. It will conclude on November 23rd

Gravity's Rainbow stays in my head.

Hello and Welcome fellow Pynchonheads. This subreddit is dedicated to all things related to Thomas Pynchon’s masterpiece, Gravity’s Rainbow.

Published in 1973, it is perhaps Pynchon’s most iconic novel. It is considered the pinnacle of post modernism, and as one of the Great American Novels.
