NP Best Wishes/Catching Up

[Carvill John]

Thanks to everyone who sent kind messages to me re. the birth of my son, on 
Wednesday. It shows a nice side to the list.

Been catching up - a bit - with the posts I've missed. Great stuff on the 
ATD seal, and what about that Miss BOMARC photo? Wow!

Wonder why the discussion about Slothrop & Bianca never got off the ground? 
I know there has been discussion on that subject before, and there is that 
article explaining that BIanca is (maybe) not as young as she seems, but to 
me the key question is - why does Pynchon put that stuff in his books? Why 
have a scene like that between Slothrop and Bianca, or the imagined incest 
on the boat between Franz and what may or may not be his daughter?

Love Duck Soup, and Groucho (his autobiography is well worth a read btw), 
and never made that 'breaking into song' connection before.

As for the Group Read, I agree with those who've argued that we should wait 
until folk have had a chacne to read it all themselves.

Right, I hear my wife calling me to perform the umpteenth nappy change of 
the day....

Cheers
JC
