    If you do give Pynchon a try, Vineland and Inherent Vice, while not his greatest novels, are good starters as they are probably his most accessible ones. They will both give you a taste of his writing style before venturing into his more abstruse novels like Gravity’s Rainbow, etc.

    Quite a challenging introduction to postmodernism, to say the least. I read close to half the book (500 pages or so) and put it down. While the book contained some inciteful observations and a fair amount of dark humor, it was too annoying for me, having to scroll back and forth to read the...

    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    My post was intended to be a rhetorical question more than anything else, however, since you responded, I might add that in addition to corporate acquisitions, some of the changes resulted from firms’ outside blenders going out of business and being replaced by others, such as in the case of...

    Unfortunately, I read the first English translation (Hogarth) from 1915 which I subsequently learned was abridged and left out a lot of nuances from the original Russian text.

    Half and Half also marketed cigarettes and used to advertise them on TV, chanting the slogan,“ pipe tobacco in a filtered cigarette.” Besides Prince Albert, I recall Carter Hall and Sir Walter Raleigh (“in the pouch pack”) ran frequent pipe tobacco commercials on TV back in the day.
