alternatives

Pynchon, yes - but we've group read them all twice now

I'm all for Warlock.

I would love to go through The Recognitions
(as someone suggested earlier) with this group of minds, or 
on a similar tip Vollman's Fathers and Crows (which has some
M&D parallels to hold the centre) but can't see the possibility
of a sufficient constituency to get through either.

  As always, I advise, Pynchon, or as close as possible
  to him.  The Education of Henry Adams, Warlock (how
  available is that to everyone here?  I have a copy--i
  storage ...), Life aaginst Death, something that's an
  acknowledged to avowed influence, maybe.  But as some
  of you have already struck up some conversation on
  "MMV," why not get taht going in earnest, at least
  while we puzzle out what more extensive work to take
  up next?  Or while we bicker about a film maybe some
  of us haven't yet had the opportunity even to see? 
  Esp. before they go off on it.  But there are those
  introductions as well ...

  But, jeez, I haven't been keeping up here ...
