I can imagine reading them in original Russian would add another level to the experience.

Interestingly enough, I devoured Infinite Jest and loved the entire novel. Gravity's Rainbow was simply too confusing to me and I think I would have done better had I used a reading guide to support me through the novel.

https://pynchonwiki.com/ has page-by-page annotations to all of Pynchon's novels.

A similar website exists for Infinite Jest: https://infinitejest.wallacewiki.com/david-foster-wallace/in...

I think it is almost impossible to read Gravity's Rainbow exactly once. Either you give up halfway through it, or you finish it and re-read it. It makes more sense, I think, when re-reading it.
