Nada?

I thought it was fantastic. Not bad for a 24 year old. I enjoyed seeing some of the ideas that prefigured IJ, like the Great Ohio Desert, being fleshed out for the first time. I enjoyed how it forced me to read Wittgenstein. I had a great affinity for the Pynchonesque names he came up with. I'd say it rates right up there with some of the best campus life novels ever.

Yeah. I'm done now. Uproarously funny at times. Definitely derivative of Pynchon (in more ways than the names), but I like Pynchon. I'm pretty sure about half of the philosophical themes/jokes went right over my head. If not 3/4's of them...

Uproariously funny -- spot on. I'm with you on what I didn't get in the novel too. However, if you go read yourself some Ludwig Wittgenstein, I swear you'll reduce that 3/4's to approximately 1/2 ....

Not really my favorite philosopher.

Ooops. I seem to have double-posted rather than edited....
