Aye, aye aye! I blasted through his first chapter rather quickly. Went right
past it. I tend to speed past the beginnings of Pynchon's stuff to get to
some of the characters and then come back to the beginnings after I finish
the book to see how he sets it up.

P.S. Vaska de Gamma--I had a HEE-YUGE email response to your counter-slam of
me but AOL, being the Family Channel of the internet, decided to deny me
passage to the host at 2 in the morn. Fuckin' fascists: consider yourself
escaped. Now I know longer have the energy to write that whole thing over.
You win.
