Transit, then Vineland

[the Robot Vegetable]

I transited the slow read a couple days ago, and slid right into
_Vineland_ and... boyoboy! how is it I didn't care for this before?
Maybe it is easier now that the Zoyd in my life died of leukemia a couple
years ago.  Maybe it was that awful oversize edition I was trying 
to read. I bought a new Penguin volume and oboy!

What fun! Two Pynchon novels new to me!
