*Did* my little signature text say something like: "spend all your 
time reading and forget all the rest?"
No, it simply said that you can never read too much. One can eat too 
much, drink too much, smoke too much (perhaps one shouldn't smoke at 
all), talk too much, write too much--but one cannot read too much.  
That's all.

As for TP's experiences, who knows?  The only thing I'm sure of is 
that he wrote at least a book I love, i.e. Gravity's Rainbow.
Again, that's all.
