@amerika @Flick @amerika @p @sim I first learned about it from this webcomic. I read that it is the longest American novel ever written. It certainly is the most convoluted. It took me literally years to finish (but I only read right before bed, so that stretched it out too)

I can't remember much because I read it like ten years ago, but the coolest concept from it that I still remember was the theory that reversed cause and effect. That an effect could occur before its cause, or something like that. The probability of where V2 rockets would land was the narrative driving that concept. That was just the first part of the 1000+ page book though. After that it has so many complex story lines, stream-of-conscious weird narration, and the references are so obscure that I bought a companion guide book to explain Gravity's Rainbow itself. Like a video game walkthrough, except I read it all without the guide the first time, and haven't reread it with the guide yet lol
