Once again, show us what you mean.  Start it up, and
they will come.  I will, at any rate ...

No.  Why?  No need.  I'll stick with it so long as
anyone else will.  If we can keep up with both Slow
Learner and Pale Fire at the same time ...

AND you apparently have far, far more time.  I've had
to give up teh kind of extracurricular reading I was
doing during, say, the last V., Lot 49 and Mason &
Dixon readings as my very own Merton College Library
is now largely, and not easily retrievably, in
storage.  Keep in mind, I was largely working out of
my own collection, with the occasional trips to our
indeed not-nearly-New-Yorkian Public and university
libraries.  So, yeah, I've been shortcutting ...

You're even starting to sound like me here, but ...
but that's been my particular mission here, to read as
much basic research into the record as possible.  I
keep going back to the archives, at any rate, though
not neraly enough, or as consistently as I should. 
That's why I'd like to get these shorter texts
covered, by the way, so we can at least have something
to show for them.  I'm only just reading MM in any
seriousness for the first time, and as has been
pointed out here, there's a lot of teh later, mightier
oaka that are Those Pynchonian Texts in this acorn ...

A friend's brother and his friend ran a student
government, and, later, a political campaign on the
slogan, "two heads are better than none" ....
