P-List expertise needed

[RedBug]

Howdy folks:

I'm working with FSB Associates on the internet aspect of M&D promotion and
we're putting together a webpage for "Pynchon Newbies," i.e.,
1st-time readers of TRP.

I'd like to solicit your input as to what you tell people whom
you've finally convinced to read Pynchon (particularly GR) as a sort of
caveat, or what helpful advice you'd give to all these new people who will
be considering reading M&D and how you'd allay their preconception of TRP's
work as "difficult." 

Also, did anyone save any of that recent thread on "what is Pynchonian"?
Damn, I missed it! If anyone could forward that along to me, I'd really be
embarrassingly appreciative.

I'll do my best to give credit where credit is due on this mini-project.

Thanks *very* much --

R.B.
