The Crying of Lot 49

Okay, this was not a very good book. It was not cohesive and I felt like it was trying to hard to be deep or intellectual. And at the end of the book, I didn't even really know what it was about. I guess it loosely is about a woman who becomes obsessed with finding an underground postal system. Hmmm. Part of my problem with the book might have also been the fact that there was a 10 page synopsis of a play in the middle which I skimmed at best. Maybe there was something in there that would have explained everything.
