I don't know what culture you THOUGHT you were living in,  friend, but if you
have been living anywhere within the economic reach of the United States, you
have indeed been a card-carrying member of such an enterprise. And
quitcha-bitchin', it's just Tom Pynchon. Pesonally, it kind of sounds like
fun. And you were going to buy the friggin book anyway. Booksmith's cool;
they're a bunch of indies like us losers here.
