Entropy

"Entropy" was super weird but i kind of liked it. I thought the contrast between the two apartments in the building was interesting. The people in the upper apartment are obsessed with control and calm while anything goes in the lower apartment. I personally preferred the lower apartment; it was more humerous. Just reading about the upper apartment made me feel tense. In the lower apartment, people are yelling in multiple languages, almost drowning in the shower, passing out everywhere, and climbing in windows. Random groups of people keep bursting into the party. I appreciated Pynchon's humor. My favorite lines were: " 'Somebody is trying to come in the windows. A burglar, I think. A second-story man.' 'What are you worried about,' Meatball said. 'We're on the third floor.' "
