Obsession

[MASCARO at humnet.ucla.edu]

Though I hate to share any personal info anymore (hmmmm) Henry, who has openly 
shared some of his heart's trevails with us, hits on a big topic with his question.  For what 
it's worth--my first wife and I met over a copy of V.  We were both blown away by 
Pynchon's work.  Read it all together.  Talked about it a lot.  Marriage lasted six years.  
Don't know what she thinks about M & D.  My current spouse thinks P's work interesting 
but not her cup of tea.  Tolerates my immersion with bemusement.  Overall, I like this set 
up a lot better.

Anybody else got a tale hanging thereby?
