Okay, call me uncultured, but I really, really want to know why Thomas Pynchon's _Gravity's Rainbow_ is considered to be a modern literary classic. The "plot" (and I use the term loosely) revolves/bounces/meanders around the discovery that a map of one man's sexual conquests corresponds exactly with sites hit by the V2 rocket. I DIDN'T GET IT. Yeah okay, it's occasionally funny, but more often than not, the book just plain didn't make any sense to me. Bleah. I had to force myself to finish this book.
