Oh, well, this is definitely more interesting... here DF Wallace is 
way more famous than Pynchon. I never gathered enough energy as to 
read something he has written, because some irrational instinct told 
me that having read Pynchon and DeLillo I might be disappointed. But 
that means I haven't read any Wallace yet, and how can I judge him 
and his stuff without having read anything at all? So, since I 
imagine there are many here who have read both his fiction & 
Pynchon's, I ask you: have I missed some Big Thing, or can I go on 
this way, that is, Wallace-less?
