Reading versus Listening to GR.

[Glenn Scheper]

You know, I am listening to GR at work, cutting out
one section at a time and dropping it onto a Fogware
Fonix iSpeak $40 program (I am up to section 1.20 now),
and I notice a difference, probably due to listening:

When I read GR, my mind filled in a complete eidetic
scene, full of details. E.g., I can still remember how
the scene with the toilet stuck on his foot appeared.

Now, as I listen to GR, is as if all of the features
Pynchon explicitly mentions are present, but against
a pure white background. Could this difference be
because I am not exercising the visual apparatus?

E.g., that scene that was once full of darkness of
night, is now only foreground against a white void.

Yours truly,
