What novels are you reading lately?
Next on my list: Mason&Dixon by Thomas Pynchon! I've been reading a lot of William Faulkner lately (Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Absalom Absalom) so it should be no trouble. Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow remains virtually unreadable for me, but some of his other novels (Inherent Vice, Bleeding Edge, V, Vineland) were easy enough to "grok".
