What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The last man (second edition) (beyond armageddon) is a collection of five books by thomas pynchon. Each book includes a note or reflection from the author. This is a great collection of penguin classics.
His essayist style is light and pulls you along breezily. He wanders the nighttime streets of shinjuku with costumed teens. He hears tales of others who spend years in the electronic wombs of tiny apartments.

Mike and i listened to this audiobook while we were trying to learn to knit
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The knitting didnt have anything to do with this bookand as it turns out it didnt have much to do with knitting either as what i produced more closely resembled a small purple dreadlock that fell off a fraggle than it did any kind of needlecraftits just what we were doing at the time
