Congratulations on the book, bro. How’d the book fair go? Drum up some interest in 19th century Russia? 
been there, saw it there and went on to buy books. I will get an update in some day in the future. Book fair is open till Sunday, though. I bought one from Ishiguro as I never read him. I also bought one from Kis, Borges, Lavcraft, Turgenev, Camus and Kafka.

Also what Camus and what Kafka?
The Castle.
When I read Kafka I feel so blessed being able to read German
It's just something else to read a writer in his native language. Sometimes I regret not learning French. @Martin needs to upload more tutorials on youtube
Expected letter to his father

I feel that luck when it comes to Selimovic, Kis, Pavic, Pekic, Andric, Kapor and Crnjanski.

Now Russian is the language I really wish I could have learnt to the point of fluency. Reading Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Bulgakov, Chekhov, Lermontov, Gogol, Artsybashev, Goncharov, Gorky, Zamyatin, Bunin, Pushkin, etc in their native language...

No doubt about that. It's even more obvious when it comes to poetry. There are great translations, surely, but it can't really be compared.

I can't recall... have you read Pynchon yet? I know Gordo and I have both told you to...
I was too busy with other books. Now... lemme search. Apparently, we have a couple of his work translated here, which is fantastic. So we have:V (sold out, I could try finding used one)
The crying of lot 49 (also sold out, could try to find used one)
Bleeding edge
Gravity's rainbow (this came out this month I think)
I haven't but truth be told, I even forgot we mentioned that name. I was too busy with other books. Now... lemme search. Apparently, we have a couple of his work translated here, which is fantastic. So we have:

You seem fluent enough in English to read untranslated, no?
Read Gravity's Rainbow. Do it. Right now.

pretty funny how you mentioned him right now. It's a fresh new book that's out (Gravity) but I fucking knew you'd say that one it's freakin' huge... got like 920 pages. Not that I mind that. However, it costs like ~28e LOL and it's just a soft copy. It's on a discount cause of the book fair otherwise it's like 35e. Seems interesting, though.
TBH I never tried reading serious books in English. I think I enjoy reading it more in native tongue, plus I read it way faster. I'd need a dictionary probably, at least for some words.

How long does it take to begin to make sense? I read a few pages and was like "wut?"

There's a ~450 page companion guide to the novel written by Steven Weisenburger that goes page by page (at times almost line by line) in explaining context and sources.
That being said, I don't really think it's needed to enjoy the book, as behind all the references and divergent pathways one can branch out on, there's a damn entertaining story going on, and Pynchon's writing is often very enjoyable...
