Clasic Dave Monroe Re-packaged

[Carvill John]

Great post. Soulful, characterful, lyrical and right. Allows me to answer 
the ever-present unspoken question of whether I'm wasting my time with this 
p-plist thing - hanging around waiting for a credible rumour of a new 
Pynchon book - with a heartfelt NO.  Reads like a compressed Philip Roth.

I for one assumed auld Joel was joking with his "disgusting" comment, sure 
it's easy to sneer (Homer: "Yeah, fun too"), but surely it's better to get a 
taste for books however you get the taste?
