Where's Pynchon on the Modern Library List?

Another reason for not teaching Pynchon (and for why COL49 is the one most 
taught, it appears) is size (of book) and time (one semester).  I would think, 
if I'm correct, one would find a similar absence of The Recognitions or JR.

Of course, there's the counter-example of VN at Cornell assigning Bleak House 
and Ulysses, among other works, in the same course.
