> Hello all,
> 
> I'm not new here, I awaited a little time to see how the environment 
> was there before introducing myself. I am 28 years old, nearly 29, I 
> live in France, and I came on this list starting from the Yahoo list 
> devoted to Pynchon, which I believe is not very active now. I 
> discovered Pynchon one year ago, by the way of the fantasy writer Tim 
> Powers. I can hardly say that I'm one of his good friends but, well, 
> I'm a member of his list and  he quoted Pynchon among his major 
> influences, I bought V and The Crying Of Lot 49.  And I loved them.  
> Just as Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon, Vineland and Slow Learner, in 
> the order I read them.  As lately I was a little disappointed by the 
> quality of the subjects on the timpowers list, I said to myself that it 
> would be time to say hello for the first time to my friends of 
> pynchon-l.
> 
> I don't know if there's any people who read Powers here. There's really 
> some really good Powers books, especially The Stress Of Her Regard, 
> Last Call and Declare. They can't compete with Mason & Dixon or 
> Gravity's Rainbow, nevertheless.
