The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

4.0

I really liked it, probably more than Gravity's Rainbow, if only because it feels like in this one the story is interesting enough on its own so that the cool math/engineering references and whatnot just add to it, whereas in Gravity's Rainbow I felt like the plot wasn't strong enough to make me want to think through the connections with umm entropy and shit
