He said that he considers Lot 49 a "'story' marketed as a 'novel' [...] in which I seem to have forgotten most of what I thought I'd learned up till then." It doesn't compare to his later works IMO (Mason & Dixon still being my fav.)

Mason & Dixon might be his most underrated.

Against the Day was too gratuitous and filthy. I liked V and GR best, the latter also being kind of disgusting but in more limited fashion.

Greetings, fellow Mason & Dixon devotee. It's just so damned clever and hilarious.
