M&D Early Arrival

M&D was featured in yesterday's Guardian - accompanied by one of
their special 'Discount Culture Line' (or whatever) offers at
a nice price of 13quid if you ordered by phone (4 or 5 off the
list price). I could dig up the Discount Line number if anyone 
was wanting.

I thought the review desperately bad (that's my opinion
of the review, not the reviewer's opinion of the book by 
the way). I could not imagine anyone being enticed to 
read Pynchon for the first time by it. Which is sad.
But then when I think about it, book reviews always
seem dull, dull, dull! No matter how exciting their subject.
