First of All....
    .....immeasurable thanx to all you posters from a dedicated lurker (several years now, thanx to a Hyperarts link).  The only novel of Pynchon's that has not been group read since I started lurking is _Gravity's Rainbow_.  Following the group reads has advanced my appreciation and (dare I say?) understanding of Pynchon and associated topics beyond my wildest expectations.  I would personally be delighted to see a group read of _GR_.  
    As a possible "alternative", what about a "critical" review of Wiesenberger's _Companion_?  I found his book very helpful, but a lot of the material is so complex, that I do not feel qualified to simply accept all of his interpretations without any critical challenges.  Methinx I would enjoy the additional input from all the various areas of purported expertise revealed by the P-Listers in their postings.
                              truly,
                              ruud
