[RICHARD ROMEO]

I can't believe, despite all the goofiness and paranoia, someone reading 
M&D not be impressed by its humanity.  It's a book that is distinctly 
Pynchon, yet one can declare, geez I've never read book like that.  Pynch 
can't write another GR, thank god for that.  Kinda think of it as the yin 
to GR's yang.  GR may be a "terrible beauty born" but M&D tis truly 
"beauty" IMHO.  Anyone allowed to review a book without finishing should 
not be reviewing, more so with M&D as the damn thing gets better as you 
move along.
