I'm right there with ya man.

I did knock out some Augusten Burroughs on my way back from the east coast (GD layovers) but that's about all I have read in the last couple of months. Kinda lame.

Dammit. I think they are. That'll be my excuse anyway.

For a class? That's a weird reading assignment.

@ yhf: I have read a sizable portion of it. I agree that it's not a bad novel; it's complexity is incredible. But sometimes it seems like Pynchon shows off just to prove that he can. But the subject matter and its humor make up for it... Though it gets incredibly grotesque at times.

@NewPhin: It's an upper division prerequisite literature class. The professor decided to apply a theme of Post-Modernism on a Post-Atomic Culture tangent.

Ahh. Post-atomic makes sense. Most classes do V. because it is more manageable in a shorter amount of time.

For reference, the rest of the course materials are/have been:

Eliot's The Waste Land
Kubric's Dr Strangelove
Kerouac's On the Road
Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five
Gravity's Rainbow
Delillo's White Noise
Watchmen (graphic novel)
Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

I'm supposed to be re-reading Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury for the same professor's class. Don't think that's gonna happen.

Nice list for a class. On the Road is kind of a throwaway for an otherwise impressive group of works.

I'd probably substitute Neal Stephenson for Kerouac were I putting together that readingl list. I also think if you're going Beats that Burroughs is more PoMo than Kerouac.
