* How embarrassed am I? It is hard to admit this, but I have never read a single word by Pynchon. For some strange reason, his name has been recently dropped in many reviews. There even was a reference to him last night at the event I went to, so I started to really think about him and did a little research. Here are some sites to check out and if you have read anything by him, please feel free to recommend a title to start with. The photo on the right is from an episode of The Simpson's. Did you know that Pynchon photos are hard to come by? (he is referred to as a recluse) I find this really weird, since most people do not recognize authors on the street.sites:
