request/question:

Would any of ya'll with M&D spoilers, details, etc, mark them?

I personally hate knowing a book before i read it, avoid back
covers, etc.--though I wouldnt want to keep them from anyone
who might appreciate.  Just putting "M&D" in the title would 
be a great boon.

I'll have to go back & read the archives once Ive finished
the book on May 3rd or whatever. heh.

M&D is obviously is going to be a modern-day typical publicity circus 
(probably fueled by the absurd first run of 200,000 which demands that 
it be marketed like a Grisham just to sell the darn things) and I'd 
like to keep that innocent glow as much as I can.  Pynchon has
become such a personal, private thing for me--perhaps I should just
grow up, but... :>

(Who's doing mental situps to be strong in the face of the
inevitable bad review or two?  I'm galled even considering
the possibility.  Grr.) 

Take care all
be good
