Against the Day: A Novel by Thomas Pynchon
Against the Day: A Novel

Pynchon Fanatic, November 21, 2006

I've been waiting for this book a long time, just as many other Pynchon enthusiasts. So I arrived at the new Powell's store in Beaverton shortly after they opened at 9am on Tuesday 11/21. Found out the book hadn't arrived yet. Maybe in another two hours or so. Very disappointing. Most bookstores around here had the books in boxes for the past few days, but couldn't sell copies until this morning. What's with Powell's? This used to be the best of the independent bookstores.

5 stars for the book, a big goose egg for the newest Powell's!!
