Interesting, I'll check one of those other books out. The library I go to only ever seems to have his doorstoppers on the shelf.

Entirely subjectively:

Bleeding Edge is a big book, but very easy to read for Pynchon. Crying is tiny, but dense. Vineland isn't huge but I found it hard going (but entertaining and worthwhile). Inherent Vice is a similar size to Vineland but an easier read.
