Richard Feynman, genius aside, had a relentless curiosity, impulse toward adventure, and natural humor that made him as good a role model for how to live as anyone you'll find. And just look at the cover. I would be perfectly content to be as cool as...more

Seth Madej added Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon read in May, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I gave up on this one real quick. I don't know what it is with me and Thomas Pynchon. I find his writing -- his dump truck full of words, smugness, and dippy, smart-ass names -- needlessly obfuscating and more irritating than any other novelist's. I...more

I have a penchant for period books about conspiracy theories and esoterica, and I picked up this one for $3 in a used bookstore in Wrightwood, CA. None of it is interesting enough to be enjoyed by anyone either sincerely or ironically, with the excep...more

Nothing else reminds me so much of the good ol' late '90s McSweeney's, when it was new and entirely fresh and no one ever thought it would become arguably the most influential literary force for a generation of writers in all media, than Diana Fische...more
