February, so far:
5) Inherent Vice, Thomas Pynchon. I've not read much Pynchon. This one is accessible, though. I also watched the movie last week, and it was a really great evocation of the book-much of it lifted directly from it. If you don't want to read the book the movie is very good.
6) The Man In the Flying Lawn Chair, George Plimpton. Collection of slightly humorous magazine pieces; probably better in context of a larger magazine or what have you. I like Plimpton a lot, but he shines better in his long format stuff, like Paper Lion.
