poss. of a new P book

[Gordon, Alex]

I'm with ye, I get what you're saying, and I'm more than happy for us to get
down to the nitty-grittiest of word-connotation-play; for the most part I'm
quite interested to read it and, even if I'm not, I end up reading it
anyway. But you gotta admit it has felt like The Read has got bogged down a
bit... Even though this is all null and void now as it seems we have indeed
moved on to the banana brekky! ...Ah well, I'm not trying to suggest any
kind of rule-imposing that we should throw down (heaven forbid!), more that
we don't cover ground that's already well-covered or waste time going over
stuff that we seem to have wrung enough importance out of already, y'know?
But anyhow, breakfast time...

Problem is, Pynchon's all about both minutiae AND words, so ... me, I think
it pays off not only in the ned, but all along, but ... well, I'm skimming a
well, I've some 7100+ unread messages @ this address alone, and I'm relying
on luck and/or instinct here to find athose points at which i might either
learn something or have something to say ...

But as you've noticed, you DON'T have to keep up with every post, ever
thread, every whatever here, AND you can always start up one or a dozen of
yr own.  Once we get going, and even when we're not going at it so much at
all, there are typically at LEAST, uh, more than one conversations going on
here.  So don't let The Reading interfere in yr reading ...
