GR cover art

http://www.linguistix.com/pynchon/gr.html

i like busy one with the 40s pinups and tarot rather than those where
the rocket is front and centre (like frank miller)

wonder how many casual bookstore brosers have been put off GR by such
rocket covers, makes it seem like it's dr strangelove inside rather than
the "ticket for the ghost train"

anyway...

btw anyone seen the German GR movie Pruftsand 7 with Inga Busch as
Bianca, i got the dvd (eventually) and watched it 3 or 4 times over 2
nights

never seen IB in anything else but she really gets to grips with Bianca

also

lots of background on peenemunde and some on german expressionist cinema
from the 20s and 30s

and a nice touch at the end with the slothrop character singing
something like the "soul in every stone" song by a lake
