Vineland

[jd]

So I'm finally getting around to reading Vineland, about 40 pages away
from the end.

What do you all think about this book?  I've heard a lot of people
badmouth it...  it's certainly no Gravity's Rainbow but my opinion is
that it isn't a bad book.  I hate Frenesi so far.

I need to take on M&D soon, it's the only one of his that I won't have
read after I finish this book.  However I really, really am having the
urge to read GR again even though I've already read it many a time. 
This can not fly.  I have a lot on my shelf I haven't read yet, but I
don't know if I'll be able to hold off.
