Scott --

 I'm sure I'm not the only thinking this:  despite the consdierations of time
inherent in drawing up a semester reading list, assigning only part I of
GRAVITY'S RAINBOW is the equivalent of telling someone to go to the theatre
and walk out after watching only Act I of a play or, uh, maybe telling
someone to get in the shower and only shampoo a quarter of their hair.
 People will tell you that reading GR is a task, and they're right.  But if
you finish Part I, then you're ready to go all the way.  If you only read
Part I, you really are missing the show, not to mention leaving yourself
baffled.
