And myself -
The memoir, "The End of Your Life Book Club" by Will Schwalbe is full of book titles which he and his dying mother discuss. Mom encourages Will to read something by Pynchon but Will never has - I don't think a specific title is named.

Maschler is pummeling a promising young writer with questions and asks, did he realize that the elusive Pynchon had sat in that same chair the day before . . . Time is early seventies.
