Inherent Vice

Thomas Pynchon

What, I should only trust good people? man, good people get bought and sold every day. Might as well trust somebody evil once in a while, it makes no more or less sense. I mean I wouldn't give odds either way.

 Inherent Vice is a pleasant read, and probably one of Pynchon's more accessible books. For a person born almost thirty years after the sixties came to a close, Inherent Vice is about as close as one can come to understanding Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
