does AtD rock?

[Dave Monroe]

It ain't no Gravity's Rainbow, but what is?  It's like complaining
that Jesus ain't no God (if you're into that sort of thing ...).
Having left it lying (usage?) fallow for some time (I think I had to
gt past the first anniversary of the end of my life in order to pick
it up again), I'm more than occasionally having to look up just who
some of these people are and what they're doing there, but I'm glad to
be back at it.  I will say, though, that I think the last three novels
differ most from the first three in not being nearly so enigmatic, or
so compelling so, at any rate (the ultimate Pynchonian attraction,
methinks).  This may not be entirely the author's fault ...
