i have about 40 pages left.. i can't finish it tonight, definitely tomorrow wondering how he's going to "wrap" it up i must say it's been one of my most enjoyable and i suppose satisfying reads ever. which of his others do you recommend? not that i can handle another mind boggler right away but i'm curious.

I recommend re-reading Gravity's Rainbow, of course...
but you knew that.

V. and Against the Day are both excellent. Mason & Dixon is sneaky, but good also.

i'm done.. took me a few days to finish the last 40 pages cause i left it at work on the accidental tip. somewhat surprised with who he ended it with. i do indeed look forward to reread perhaps with a more academic approach but we'll see when the time comes.

im not sure my copy would burn.. it always feels moist. there's also mold on the first few hundred pages. in addition it's thoroughly covered in tape.

if it's wet, drink it
if it's dry, smoke it
if it moves, fuck it
if it doesn't move, put it in the van
