Currently wading through this Pynchon. It has flashes of great fun. I'm enjoying all the anarchist/socialist plot elements and the slightly off-kilter/almost magic realist take on the turn of the century (that's 19th into 20th), but I can't say it's keeping me gripped. I keep thinking about putting it down, and then I'll come up against a little plot turn or a political dig that keeps me ploughing on. Not sure I'd recommend it as such, but maybe I just can't concentrate these days. So wadda I know?
