How could you stop yourself? Really. What, is it like tantric Pynchon? You
saving it up for the climactic moment when your amazon package arrives? Oh,
no, have I spoiled the pleasure for myself?.....I think I'll go spoil it
some more.
Thanks, Dave, for the excerpts!  Now I can read them  over and over till my
copy arrives in the flesh.
Jbor was hecka rude to you too. I'm sorry. I'm sure they don't mean it. We
all appreciate the contributions you make to the p-list!
Barbara
