The dreams of the dead
The power of the dead is that we think they see us all the time. The dead have a presence. Is there a level of energy composed solely of the dead? They are also in the ground, of course, asleep and crumbling. Perhaps we are what they dream [98].

That's good stuff. I've got to get around to reading Delillo.
Beside this, I've read Cosmopolis, and plan to read Underworld later this year. I can definitely see that DeLillo was influental to writers like George Saunders, who I also highly recommend. He (DeLillo) is more readable than Pynchon, but addresses many of the same themes.
