I was excited to watch Brick Mansions, only to find out it's a stupid remake of B-13.
Fucking bullshit.

I wasn't defending the movie guys just given reason to why it included certain scenes that people would find cliche.
i was disspointed that it didnt go into more detail on his death and what drove the killer to do it... that would of made a more interesting story but i'm pretty sure this was a propaganda movie and they didnt want to show the ugly side of war and the effects it has on people when they get back.

I havent read any of his books but after watching this movie i did read up on him and his work so i've ordered Inherent Vice and Gravitys Rainbow. His work does seem pretty challenging but i will give it a go. Have you seen the film? Do you think his books are easier to understand?

Gravity's Rainbow is brilliant, but is certainly one of the most difficult books ever written. I'd suggest Inherent VIce, film and book, are on a similar level in terms of challenge. With Pynchon, the book adds a lot of explanations, and meaning a film can't do, but at the same time, in doing this, the number of elements and ideas encountered goes up exponentially.
As I said, it's probably his least complex novel. You chose the easiest and the most difficult. So you should have quite the time reading them. I'd start with IV, just to break into Pynchon's world without too much suffering.
