heh, what did you think of this book? I liked it. Doc Sportello was quite the character. A very different book, but enjoyable, not so much for the storyline, but more so the conversations and situations.
Recently finished Son of Hamas, it was decent. Look it up if Israel/Palestine stuff interests you. The son of a founder of Hamas, crosses the line to spy for Israel and converts to Christianity.
Now reading Underworld by Don Delillo (pg 260something of nearly 900). Cranked out Point Omega in a day, liked it.
