Yeah, blame it on Vineland that we shed players.

I don't expect my vote to count, but I kinda like Mike Weaver's suggestion
about Pynchon themes.  There're so many good ones I'd like to read and
explore: Pynchon on destructive elements in man;  Pynchon on the economy
of war; Pynchon on power and how it relates to economy or war or politics or
sex or communication; or Pynchon on Zen; or Karma! Oh, wouldn't it be fun,
David?  to revisit all those scenes where Pynchon makes you feel all jittery
inside because you know he's talking to you?

Go Mike!
