I'm reading Inherent Vice right now. I think it makes a good intro to Pynchon. I tried to start with Gravity's Rainbow, but found the method a little too hard. Vice is great because it isn't constantly uber-Pynchon, but he comes through greatly at times, and the plot is much more straightforward than Gravity's, though by no means straightforward by any other measure.
