Liam Mulvaney’s Reviews > Cat's Cradle > Status Update

I've put this book on hold for now... But I'm finishing Anna Karenina before Cat's Cradle. The final bits of the book deserve my full attention.

..."It must have cost a lot."
"Nobel Prize money bought it. Two things that money bought: a cottage on Cape Cod and that monument."
"Dynamite money", I marvelled, thinking of the violence of dynamite and the absolute repose of a tombstone and a summer home.
"What?"
"Nobel invented dynamite."
"Well, I guess it takes all kinds..."

This is the second time I heard a similar quote... Cough, Oppen... Cough... heimer.

Hell, I was thinking about reading a Pynchon novel—probably trying out Inherent Vice—and this fell into my hands.
