BeJeezus, Keith - some things are worth reading more than once. :proud:
Pynchon dedicated his incomparable and timeless masterpiece, Gravity's Rainbow, to his friend, the writer, folksinger and counterculture icon, Richard Farina.
Pynchon is also a buddy of neo-luddite and historian of SDS, Kirkpatrick Sale.
MSM once speculated that Pynchon was the Unambomber...
Vineland is a much underrated book, which explores with wit and immense insight, precisely how the Sixties counter culture got fucked. By The Man's exploitation of our flawed human condition.
If you don't want to try Gravity's Rainbow yet, I would heartily recommend Vineland.

"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."
"Proverbs for Paranoids 4: You hide, They seek."
"They are in Love. Fuck the War."
Gravity's Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon
"Ccollanan Pachacamac ricuy auccacunac yahuarniy hichascancuta."
The last words of the last Inka, Tupac Amaru, led to the gallows by men of god & dogs of war
