Bad timing for this book. I feel like if I had read it on another occasion I would have loved it, but I just finished grad school, and this was too ... introspective, I guess. I am more in the mood for mindless fun right now.

Read this for book club. If it hadn't been for book club, I think I would have given up on it. So I pushed through it even though I couldn't relate to the protagonist (if you would call him that) on any level.

I did like the pie-in-the-face incident and some of the writing, but DeLillo's overuse of the word "what" drove me nuts.
