I agreed that I don't think Pynchon wants his novels to be read this way.

you went on to opine:
>that's what you are doing when you say there are

I don't agree with this.  But if that's what you think I'm doing, I'm sure
you won't let me change your mind. But, you're wrong.

I'm glad you can take responsibility for your own feelings in the matter. I
don't think disagreeing with something somebody said amounts to an ad
hominem attack  -- I think sometimes you don't quite understand what's

although I guess that won't stop you and the new funny fakenamers from
chiming in to fan his flames.
