I've only read V and The Crying of Lot 49.
Which of his works should I read next? I thought both were good but Lot 49 I enjoyed the most.

Pynchon was a mistake

Vineland is my least favorite of his works (haven't read Bleeding Edge or Against the Day yet). This was like a less serious Inherent Vice and since I'm a sucker for detective novels I had a good time reading it.
Mason & Dixon is his best bee tee dubya.

Is it actually good, or is he just putting this out for money?

Does Pynchon have any shame? He has basically destroyed his legacy with everything since Vineland.

This. It was fun. I'd rather he put it out than die and never be able to read it.

Wrong. Bad works expose them as the true hacks that they are. The curtain is pulled back and you realize that they just got lucky or never should have stopped doing drugs/drinking.

I read the first hundred pages and dropped it. There's nothing even remotely interesting about it.

The more I experience Pynchon's work the less confidence I have in him. He seems like the ultimate pseud magnet.

You're just now realizing this? The years of pseud redditor threads about Pynchon didn't trigger that realization?
