It's about time. . . .

     Me:
     there's translation from the original Japanese to take into 
     consideration, as well.

     David Morris:
     Yeah, I guess that should be taken into consideration.  Also, the real
     original would have been in English, right?

Right, a double refraction problem.

     Me: How much of Against the Day have you read so far?

     David Morris:
     I finished it a couple of months ago.  As I've at least hinted at here
     before, I was greatly disappointed with it.  Not ALL of it.  Some
     parts were better than others.  But as a whole it was a let down, at
     least for me.

I think the man's trying to come up with the Dude's rug---you know, the
one that tied the whole room together? Guess I'm a fan, but it really is 
time to read something else for awhile.

     Monte Davis: Pynchon long ago provided a capsule review of 
     "Zeitgeist" -- and, if you like, an explanation of why his Vast 
     Conspiracies are over-the-top parody
     (c'mon, L.A.H.D.I.D.A.? Jesuit telegraphers?):

     "Proverbs for Paranoids, 3: If they can get you asking the wrong 
     questions, they don't have to worry about answers."

Fine groovy, and all that but---
Why the focus on I.G. Farben in GR? Or is that the wrong question?

And by the way David---International Banking [the 'Fiscal Illumanati']
I.G. Farben. Get it? One of the 'Wrong Questions' is continuing to
think of the Fiscal Illumanati as "the Jews". That was the essential
BIG LIE. It was the war machine itself that went after the Jews. Lots
on that subject in GR.
