I got a cheap copy of this and would browse it at the end of most chapters. It added a lot of context without getting too weedy. www.ugapress.org/978082036583...

I read along in the Pynchon Wikis on my second/third readings of all the books. And while I'm not on reddit anymore, the pynch subreddit was a superb one for many years, low on snobbery and long on insightful interpretation pynchonwiki.com

I might do this for some of the parts that hung me up initially. Also, I’ve noticed Google basically just directs you to the Pynchon sub at this point

It's very nice that all printed editions use the same page numbers. While traveling I borrowed the ebook from the library. Lacked page numbers, but being able to search in the book for a name was nice. "Have I seen this person before?" Did the same for Ed Park's Same Bed Different Dreams.
