ABANDONED:

Pynchon, Thomas. (1990). Vineland. New York: Penguin.

[Hopefully the film makes more sense.  (Just felt like I was dropped in the middle of something interesting and couldn't get a grasp on anything solid.  Doesn't help that I've got a bunch of stuff to read and not a whole lot of time.  This one probably would've worked if I was able to savor every word.)]
