Gravity's Rainbow Sucks

In a random thread on /a/ today, about someone's favorite books:

Jacksonville: Gravity's Rainbow is the epitome of literary shit.

Anonymous: I agree, but only if you mean that literally, because it's a great book.

Jacksonville: It's like shit on paper in its organization, which makes it a horrible book. It's more like a trophy made out of tissues the author fapped into. A glorious achievement for him and whoever's sucked his dick, but to everyone else it's just a bunch of cum-stained pieces of paper. Mental masturbation and exhibition, if you will. The only explanation I have for people thinking it's amazing is that they can't comprehend how something so shitty could have possibly gotten published, or that they've never tried to write a novel themselves.

Thought I'd let you guys know I'm a faggot. Toodle-loo.
