Chick Lit
Fred: So I am not the hugest fan of cyberpunk, but would like to read Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, for love of the crypt(ic) and the idea of code--these stemming from a love of these themes in Freud and Derrida. Isn't Stephenson grandfatherly to cyberpunk as Bradbury would be to sci-fi? Dunno, not my area. As for Pynchon, enough said: "dull, convoluted, and self-indulgent, but (occasionally) brilliant." He tries way too hard, and this is coming from a fan of fiction of high artifice, like the Decadents.— September 29, 2009 12:05 a.m.

Oh, and just a debate on the merits of Nabokov--I prefer not to have to revisit Pynchon, though I have read Gravity's Rainbow and Vineland. Unless you insist :)— September 28, 2009 9:18 p.m.
