>>>If that's the decision, then I suggest that everyone read the book cover
to
cover before the group read and then begin again as a group.   Because I
think
much of the purpose of this will be lost if we read it like a book club,
unable to talk about things for fear of spoiling it for someone else.<<<

I have changed my mind and agree with this. While I initially
voted for a non-spoilage policy, it isn't realistic with this
readership. I second malignd's motion that it be understood
that all participants will have read the novel once. Then we
can say whatever we want whenever we want as we go through
the book. Considering this medium (and this list) [and this novel]
the entire endeavor will be a chaotic mess, but it should be
enlightening, entertaining, and surprisingly evocative of Pynchon-
related discussion.
