Imo,  Libra is not DeLillo's best.   If you want some Pynchon-like 
paranoia try The Names.   DeLillo never gets as "encyclopedic" as 
Pynchon,  but the rhythms of his sentences,  especially in Underworld 
where he gave them rein, rate with those of Faulkner or Pynchon or 
any other top-end American literary figure - I should probably say 
world literary figure.
