A Trove of New Works by Thomas Pynchon?

[Ghetta Life]

The Recognitions is the first of Gaddis for me.  I've only just finished the 
first part, and am very impressed.  At first I had trouble betting into the 
flow of the narrator's voice, but I'm catching on.  I'm finding part of the 
beauty in the writing is what is implied but not said.  I also know that 
there are allusions aplenty that I'm just letting go by because I'd rather 
focus on letting the story flow.  When I read it again (as I'm sure I will) 
I'll pay closer attention to those details.  All that said, I wouldn't call 
it a "difficult" book to read, except for its length.  But "enjoyable" 
writing is what saves long books from becomming tasks.

I know that Robert has contributed recently to the G-list.  But it's been 
about a week there without a peep.  Do they ever do group-reads?
