better than pynchon

?I thought this probably his best

how do you mean?

i only liked the closeted stylist part, and even that had major flaws (hasn't really aged well)

and what was up with all of the music references everywhere? it made me check out mj's "dangerous" for the first time since i was a kid, not a bad album desu

I like it a lot but it just feels like it's all I've been reading recently.
