      <![CDATA[i read crying in college -SOOO funny but he dose use to many big words at times and to much about science. i love the songs, puns,and poems he puts on almost every page- in fact when i had to write a paper it was called "The puns, poems and songs of Pynchon"... I think... something like that... :P<br />
<br />
i have all of his other novels aswell, but never time to read them. i usualy open to any page that has a poem and read that instead. i love the one about the girl with the frosty nipples and the song about bananas... LOL... fun times...<br />
<br />
anways...I can't wait to read Inherent Vice!!! what do u ppl say???<br />
<br />
WE LOVE U T.P&gt;!!!!!!!<br />
<br />

      <![CDATA[Straight? Doubt it. "Inherent Vice -- The inherent physical properties of goods which may cause them to suffer deterioration or damage without outside influence. (For example: spontaneous combustion, rust etc.)" or, to cite another source, "inherent vice: n. ~ The tendency of material to deteriorate due to the essential instability of the components or interaction among components."

      <![CDATA[_Next_ August, as in, nine months from now?  Far too long to wait.  Also, no way in hell Pynchon will "play it straight."  Except in some sort of hypergeometrical sense, in which he grabs the narrative by both ends, and pulls it taut between his hands, so that it looks straight to him, but at the price of the whole rest of the universe around him being warped into a Klein bottle.
