Ever said that to yourself?
I said it last night while reading Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49. Makes me glad I tackled this itty-bitty novel rather than taking on Gravity's Rainbow or some such. Oh, I like the story, and I'll even finish it, but there's so much going on beneath the surface that I know I'm missing nuances galore.
