° Somewhere in "Minima Moralia" Adorno says that Proust spares the reader 
the illusion to be more intelligent than the author. For Proust this is,
I think, correct. With Pynchon I don't know. Do agree, however, that this
here shouldn't be the Friends Of Tom yet the P-list, which of course implies                     
to question our writer's authority. In artistic as well as in other regards.

Just to get this straight: Myself I couldn't have written Gravity's Rainbow.

Orange sunshine, time to read ... Heidegger lectures from the winter semester
1929/30 (just got published in paperback: costs you less than 20- €!): "Die
Grundbegriffe der Metaphysik: Welt - Endlichkeit - Einsamkeit". Profound
phaenomenological analysis of Boredom (nah, it's not only 'objective'...), 
among other stuff on animals, stones and everything. 500 pages of Heidegger 
in full juice: Check it out! "Die Langeweile ist der Bann des Zeithorizontes,  
welches Bannen den der Zeitlichkeit zugehörigen Augenblick entschwinden lässt,
um in solchem Entschwindenlassen das gebannte Dasein in den Augenblick 
hineinzuzwingen als die eigentliche Möglichkeit seiner Existenz, welche 
Existenz nur möglich ist inmitten des Seienden im Ganzen, das sich im Horizont
des Bannens gerade im Ganzen versagt" (p, 230). There-Being is always tuned.

You know, I'd like the coming 'Hilbert Novel' to be somehow like CoL 49: 
sinister and short --
