An Introduction

[Dave Monroe]

I've given Tim Powers' The Anubis Gates as a gift
several times.  Seems to be one of those few books
that evrybody I know can agree on.  Meanwhile, I used
to give away used Bantam eds. of Gravity's Rainbow the
way Gideons give out Bibles, but ... 

But, hey, maybe Terrance'll finally pony up and start
in on a GR reading, so's you can fill us in on the
French translation (I have it, but I'd be lucky to be
able to read much of it).  In the meantime, while
we're ostensibly covering the miscellany ...

The List has been through all the novels I believe at
least twice, plus a run through of Slow Learner, but
feel free to fire away on whatever you'd like.  And
there are at least a few French-speaking members (I
don't claim to be one of them), so feel free to post
in French when you'd like.  There's an awful lot of
German that flies by me here, but it's good to have
everything read into the record.  Any Francophone
Pynchon criticism we oughtta know about, for example? 
And those translation problems are always interesting.
 Anyway, seeing as the welcome wagon's already met you
at the gates ...
