Everybody loves a good Thomas Pynchon novel. Well. Maybe they do. I've liked two of them(V and Vineland), but I had to put down Gravity's Rainbow out of boredom. I've never even considered Mason & Dixon. Now there is another in the catalogue of novels by America's great reclusive writer (notwithstanding Mr. Salinger, unless of course they are the same person). Against the Day, it is called. And surprise surprise, its "at least 900 pages long and the author will not be going on a promotional tour." Oh well, next time Tommy, I expect you to be at my local Barnes and Noble.
