I tried to start V. and The Journal of Albion Moonlight and found both
to be full of pretentious, self-indulgent writing about silly, uninteresting
characters.  They might have claimed to be looking for "MEANING" but they
were'nt looking very hard and they didn't really seem to want to find any.

However, since I couldn't finish either, and both were relatively early
works, perhaps someone can tell me why Pynchon is worth reading?
