Paucity of TRP materials

     Finished GR?  I've been trying to read it since it came out in Bantam 
     paperback 20+ years ago.  I pick it up every so often, read the same 
     initial chapters, and usually manage to get another 20 or 30 pages 
     into it.  I've gotten as far as the end of the first part.
     
     Lately I've been taking it on extended business trips involving very 
     long flights.  There's nothing like being on a full NY to Tokyo 
     non-stop (13 hours), having read every magazine on the plane, and 
     being forced to pay complete attention to GR or go completely stir 
     crazy.  I'm getting there (through the book, not crazy).
     
     As I've said each time I start again, "this time is it!."

     Is one ever really finished reading GR?  I know many who have 
     "finished" but everybody always says they're re-reading it.

I guess the paucity of TRP material is not due to his lack of writing, 
but rather, to our having finished all his writings a while ago and 
wanting more.
     
Saludos, Juan.
