I'd forgotten about Porpentine in the quartet. I also read it after 
Pynchon, although I recall getting Justine from the library, by mistake. 
(I thought it was deSade's Justine.)

Only recently have I started reading Miller. As I may have said here 
earlier, I can't help but feel that he was very influential on the whole 
Beat scene. Surely it's time for a longer harder look at Miller and his 
literary progeny.

Makes me almost wishI was a lit academic. (But not quite! :)  )
