And you're hardly a lazy reader! I mean, even in a world where I had way more concentration than I do, I would have got to about p200 and started skimming ahead to see if it ever improved and then dumped it! And I happily read my way through The Mysteries of Udolpho and wouldn't even have minded if it was longer!

You have just met your Nemesis. Give it all due respect and skim those last 200 pages as blithely as is possible while holding Gravity's Rainbow in your hands. Possibly take a picture of it so that you can put it up on the wall and point to your Nemesis when people ask?

I mean, that extract does not make me want to rush out and read it, rainbros be damned. There are MURDERS out there, with improbable crime and equally improbable detectives, and life is short. Go look at a nice blank wall and dream of better things.

Also well done! ♥
