Time to lift the "spoiler" warning

[Matthew B Hoyt]

*** Warning Spoilers from the Cover of M&D **********

I agree with Jody.  The time is now to act like big boys and girls and 
discuss this book.  I guess I got my read on the "spoiler crowd", when 
one of the pleas cited "feng shui" 's mention as giving away something.

>From the inside cover of M&D: 

"Along the way they encounter a plentiful cast of characters, including
Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Samuel Johnson, a 
Swedish irredentist, a talking dog, and a robot duck."

No one has posted that reading the cover has spoiled their read to 
my knowledge.  

I understand those that want to keep their first encounter
"pure".  So along with not reading reviews (or the book's cover) 
 take a vacation from the list, it is archived.  Or get the diget 
and stow it away until your reading is done.

This isn't a murder mystery (so far).  Cherrycoke reveals the 
death of one major character very early on.  Pynchon's
writing is very nonlinear, my experience has been that 
knowledge of upcoming episodes actually has enhanced
my reading.
