Additive: I see someone liked Gravity's Rainbow and someone did Not. Any other opinions as well?
I read Gravity's Rainbow.
It is good and I do recommend it, but that doesn't mean it isn't tedious at times.

Another pulp fiction find. This time from a flea market for a buck.



"Lolly Popstick was the most sizzling teeny-bopper he had ever seen, and when Vance Powers first let his eyes rove over her shapely miniskirted figure, he was glad he had taken this assignment...to find out if she was a double agent for the other side."

^ The girl on that cover looks remarkably like Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris in Mad Men, it's almost scary.

Thank you janz and grindy! I like to think I can handle a little tediousness, I didn't make it all the through but I was on Ulysses awhile back, and was very recently considering picking it back up, but I might do Pynchon instead.

I finished The Stranger today. Or yesterday, I don't know. I sent a text message to a friend: "Just finished The Stranger. Pretty good, I think you'd like it. Faithfully yours." The book says life doesn't mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday.

I actually just finished reading "The Fall" by Camus as I picked it up super cheap at a library sale. Loved it. Now I need to go back and read The Stranger and the Plague. I guess I'm reading them out of order somewhat but I think that is ok.
