Finished The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon this morning. Although considered a modern work, it has many aspects of it (chiefly its fractured narrative) which make it seem postmodern. The story begins with the reading of a will and leads to a conspiracy, but honestly it's all very hard to follow. At the same time, I did really enjoy the wordplay and the rhythm of the words. Even if you don't feel like untangling its deep meaning, I would still recommend it.
I'm still reading DKIII. After that, it's Dream On Monkey Mountain by Derek Walcott.
