What did you guys think by the way? I just finished it and thought it was pretty good. Not necessarily any sort of profound achievement but a fantastically addictive novel. I love how Doc would get distracted from one case and then somehow stumble deeper into the mystery.

I smoke a lot of weed and go see random bar bands and big rock bands with less talent and all that jazz and I really connected with the book. I love Pynchon, but I could see how this wouldn't be for everyone. Hit home for me, though.
