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.
