Take Five
D. Keith Mano
D. Keith Mano's 'Take Five' This shit is WEIRD. It reads like Luke Reinhardt high on off-brand amphetamines and James Joyce at his most pleonastic free associative state smashed together in a martini shaker. I think I love it. https://t.co/ZKITugoIKd

Deception Point
Dan Brown
@AvnerLandes Alright I'll bite: Dan Brown. "Deception Point" is a nail biter and I'll read that shit in a single sitting every time I pick it up. Not Capital-L Literature by any means, but still enjoyable as hell.

The School for Atheists: A Novella-Comedy in 6 Acts
Arno Schmidt
For those unfamiliar, 'THE SCHOOL FOR ATHEISTS: A Novella = Comedy in 6 Acts' is one of the few Schmidt books still in print. Moreover, it's one of Schmidt's three major typoscripts, along with 'BOTTOM'S DREAM' and 'EVENING EDGED IN GOLD'. https://t.co/E427RP9n8b https://t.co/vOR5uPjOZS https://t.co/GGoH91msQk

Mao II
Don Delillo
No, I'm not going to delude myself into think I can reverse engineer a point of influence here. It does however, immediately remind me of the Mooney wedding in Delillo's MAO II, and that continually resonant line, "our future belongs to crowds".
