The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon

http://nhw.livejournal.com/776257.html[return][return]Woman discovers she has been made the executor of her ex-husband's will, and is sucked into a bewildering world of conspiracies around subversive alternative postal systems. Reminded me a bit of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon and associated books, which presumably drew some inspiration from this source. But it didn't really grab me. At least it was short.
