Gravity's Rainbow.


Wow, that's the only book that's kicked my arse. Four tries and I've given up each time. And I liked Against the Day, Mason and Dixon, and anything by David Foster Wallace. I guess I'll have to try again.

Now is a good time to mention James Webb. His Fields of Fire is the best Vietnam book I've ever read and he was in the thick of it. Currently I'm reading his Emperor's General which is about MacArthur and is excellent so far. He's simply an outstanding author as well as a decorated combat veteran, Secretary of the Navy, and US Senator from Virginia. And given the rest it is pretty surprising that he really is a damn good author.
