As you can tell from the title, we are discussing the much beloved and somewhat feared author, Thomas Pynchon. I use the word feared because Pynchon can be difficult to read and thus, readers are often left wondering, where do I start with one of the most important authors of the last 60 years?

We certainly felt this way, and so we invited back on the show, Aldous Asterion, host of the podcast "The Forest of Symbols." As Matt's dad says, Aldous is a really smart guy. And so we are using his smarts and Pynchon knowledge to pick our starting pointing. Do we go with the shortest work? Or maybe we go for the most famous? Or from the debut? Listen to find out which book we chose.

Thanks to Aldous for coming on the podcast. You can listen to his podcast on all major platforms and you can support him further by checking out his patreon.
