Sure. This is the Pynchon List. We should discuss Pynchon. 

So we're reading Vineland and we notice that on page one the text
alludes to Orwell's _Nineteen Eighty-four_.  P recently published a
Foreword to _1984_ and he alludes to the post 9-11 fascist policies of
the Bush administration.

Meanwhile, the gang of NAB is reading Pale Fire. 
What's this? Another spoiler? 
Hey, whose idea was it to read Nabokov on the Pynchon List anyway?
