I kinda wanted to read Gravity’s Rainbow but my friend (who also recommended Inherent Vice) said I probably wouldn’t have the patience for it lol. He’s usually right

Inherent Vice was great too. Gravity's Rainbow took me a few times to get into but it was a wild ride.

His early book "The Crying of Lot 49" was also really good.

Bleeding Edge is another fun, (relatively) short read if you want to go back for more Pynchon.
