Honestly, the Pynchon novela is almost unreadably bad. If it hadn't been on the midterm, I totally would have skipped it.
C'mon! It's got a Beatles parody band called The Paranoids. With songs!
Who wouldn't want to read that?
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

I actually need to go to Sephora today. We'll see if I have enough energy to fight my way down the Magnificent Mile in a half-hour. Maybe if I reward myself with manga?

Admit it! Jane Austen has no beatle parody bands in her novels. Not one.

What's that manga genre with all the androgynous boy love?
Though, thinking back on the coke machine you slashed, I recall you prefer rough trade.

Too late. Way too late. What, do you think of comebacks when you're lying in bed at night?

Smashbox. I'm out! Maybe some plummy eyeshadow, too. And whatever else calls out to me as I'm wandering.

I like it all, baby. Dexter's done for the season, and I need to get my serial killer fix somewhere!

Man, that's tempting! I'm worried if I stop by for a drink that I'll just fall asleep on the table, though.
