3. Gave up on "Gravity's Rainbow"

Probably should try it again.

I liked "V", as whacked as it was. Perhaps I could relate, since I was in the Navy at the time.

Really liked "The Crying of Lot 49", which is short and accessible. I liked the build-up of paranoia in the story line; it is probably best appreciated to be read while stoned.

Have not been that enthused to tackle him since that era, although I do seem to buy his later books and put them on the shelf for later reading.
