One step at a time

When I walked into class last week I felt like the title of the book, I just wanted to be in a lot somewhere crying because I just read half the book and I felt as if I was lost in the story. I did not comprehend most of the book.  After the class discussion I’m intrigued to see what happens.  This book is almost like a love/hate relationship with me.  I want to know what it all means but I get so lost and I feel like I’m looking up so many words in the story to find more clues. 

Scott left a comment on my blog saying to look for clues and not a big picture.  I had mentioned the title of the book and what it had to do with the story.  He said that I should take a look at the names and what it might have to do with the story.  As I was reading I found one name and that was Koteks.  However; I have yet to see the connection. 

I just want to find out where this is going and in order for me to find out I have to finish the book but I feel lost.  I bet this will be a book I will re-read over the summer so I can listen to the last discussion with class and then when I have digested all the discussion and finished reading it, I will be able to read it over and find out more and have a better understanding.  Maybe one day I will pick up another book written by Thomas Pynchon and I will be able to analyze that story on my own or I will be just as lost.  We will have to see.
