Difficulty of TRP (was GIANT ADENOID for lease)

Well... 

"eeew, he's SO gross!"

and to read him without a crib, you need to be somewhat of a polymath
or at least have a wide-ranging education/experience.

This is not Pynchon, but an acquaintance who is a would-be female
journalist of the feminist persuasion told me that she'd rather
read Gloria Steinem than Camille Paglia, because CP uses "words
she doesn't understand".

So there!
