Quote

The tabletop between them was littered with phone books, pencils, three-by-five index cards boxed and loose, road maps, cigarette ashes, a transistor radio, roach clips, coffee cups, and an Olivetti Lettera 22, into which Doc, mumbling, "Just start a ticket on this," inserted a sheet of paper which appeared to have been used repeatedly for some strange compulsive origami.
--Page 15, Inherent Vice, Thomas Pynchon

(The latest in an ongoing series of sightings of the word origami in a novel read by me.)
