Thomas Pynchon
Thomas Pynchon — 8 titles in the rankings, first published between 1963 and 2025. They average 7.8 — level with the catalogue as a whole.
Editor’s note Dense, comic, paranoid novels crammed with history, science and conspiracy. The Crying of Lot 49, short and strange, is the most read and the usual first try, though it rates fairly low; Inherent Vice, a stoned private-eye story in 1970 Los Angeles, is the most approachable. Gravity’s Rainbow, about rockets and the Second World War, is his monument, and Mason & Dixon rates highest.
