When reading Pynchon should I be looking up each and every reference and terms I don't understand or just keep going through it? How do you read him usually? I'm starting with V as my first Pynchon novel.

The first thing you're going to want to do to understand V. is smoke some grass and go to a dive bar

V. can be read without needing the wiki or making notes, just like a normal novel, and that's basically the same for TCoL49. Any references that you'd like to find more about you could do after reading it... For Gravity's Rainbow and Mason & Dixon, I would recommend using the wiki. The wiki is really helpful for M&D, but it's much less complete for GR because it was originally meant as a companion for Weisenburger. If you can get your hands on Weisenburger's companion for GR from a library, it may help your experience vastly...

what does this mean? why does pynchon have to be so obtuse

Gravity's Rainbow is one of those books where you are gonna feel completely lost on a page by page basis but once you look back after completing larger sections you realize you came away with much more of the information than you thought you would.

I found the wiki guide handy for GR and Lot49. A-and this one (mindspring.com
