Well, Murthy posted 28 minutes before the next volunteer (sorry, Joe)
so I guess we'll give it a go - unless I hear any objections in the
next few days, that is. I'll issue starter's orders on Friday 6th
September and we can rendezvous every 2 weeks from then on. Of course,
feel free to pick up your GR and your notebooks and start reading
straight away. We'll probably take in the dream, the banana breakfast
and the adenoid for stage 1.

Yeah, there's a page or so on entropy at one point which is
staggeringly Pynchon-like. And I seem to recall it was more than just
the content which was similar. But reading them sequentially is hard
enough work. In parallel reeks of chains and leather underwear. But
hell why not? Buy a bigger notebook and start writing from both ends.
