my first Pynchon. mysterious, enthralling, confusing; have to admit i don't think i got this one entirely (although i think that is precisely the point). A fun read nonetheless: the way Pychon's prose reads is fascinating - looking forward to, and also sort of dreading getting to Gravity's Rainbow (hopefully later this year?)

Recommended album pairing: Tarzana - Alien Wildlife Estate
