I'm getting my PHD in the Subversive Use Of The Comma in the Works of Thomas Pynchon and I think I see a pattern.

jeez beez, missed that the 1st time, luckily it's slow tonight here
& anyway, Vineland just happens to be my fave rave.
I have waxed incoherent on it many a time to anybody who'll listen
and several who would rather not.

Vineland is to novels what the Norton P-38 is to motorcycles.
...what the Jaguar XJ6 is to cars...


I love this book...aww, I'm gettin' all emotional with it...

1) 1st of all - Zoyd, slacker extraordinaire, he is like
St Paul sez somewhere, besieged on all sides but not overcome

2) the wedding
3) the technology
4) the prose...
5) the silly songs
6) the family reunion

but enough about my thoughts, how do you like it so far?
