My friend sent me this and it seems pretty interesting. Just requested it from the library!

To be honest I’m not enjoying this nearly as much as I thought I would, and I skip reading most evenings. I’m formulating a critique that I’ll share once I finish (I think I will finish, though it’s a bit of a slog). It’s not a terrible book — I would stop reading otherwise — but it’s not what I’d hoped for.

One of my library holds just came in so I’m pausing here. This is the furthest I’ve ever made it into this book and I think I’ve got momentum to finish (it’s so good but so... freewheeling).

I’m so excited for this book, especially now that I’m back in California. The experiences from my last stint of living in this state really opened my eyes to what “liberalism” is. Going back at least as far as Nixon, this state has been exporting a particular ideology to the rest of the world. Social conservatives call it “leftist”, but it very clearly is not. I look forward to learning more about this whole Thing.

I see what you did there.
Pynchon was smart to write one short book so that people would know that they liked his writing without finishing any of his other books.

Okay, I think this is my third or fourth attempt at this book. Feeling lucky this time.

I just saw that Iffy Books is doing a reading group for this. I won't be able to participate but they pick good stuff.
