does AtD rock?

[Henry]

It's also difficult to completely remove who I am, e.g. a more
experienced/mature Pynchon reader, from my life in general, let alone from
my reading of ATD, and particularly from my initial reading of it.  This is
"the author's fault," though "not entirely." It takes a little more to rock
to rock me than it used to; not jaded, just not as easily tilted.

That said, I was not as rocked by ATD as GR, but yes, IMO ATD does rock.

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 ...
