I am currently awaiting delivery of the autobiography of Holly Randall's mother.
What is the title again? Somehow I either forgot or missed that, I may check it out.

I'm currently slogging my way through Gravity's Rainbow. Pray for me.
Are you a Thomas Pynchon enthusiast, or did you just grab the book on someone's suggestion or at random?? Pynchon is actually an amazing author when confining the discussion to post modern fiction. I have not read Gravity's Rainbow yet but I have read the Crying of Lot 49, which is short enough to allow you to get your arms around his typically "secret Code"-ish, Labyrinth-like story lines. In the book, I loved the little town of St Narciso ("Saint Narcissus" in Spanish) just outside LOS ANGELES, how fitting...
F"why"I -- Pynchon went to Cornell and was a student of Nabakov's while there...it fucking shows, I'll tell ya!!
