          Daniel Julius:
          I would be very interested in a Moby Dick 
          group read after ATDTDA. Does that sound 
          like something you other folks might like?  
          Don't know if it'd be as divisive as Pale 
          Fire...but.  And I guess it could be
          harder to maintain stringent citational accuracy, 
          as there are one million different editions of the 
          book out there...but.

I'm keen on a Three-month jog-trot through 'The Crying of Lot 49', what with 
this heap of Pynchon & Co. material piling up. Right after or during that 
examination of the Company's books we need to take a closer look at Marge 
Simpson's 'The Harpooned Heart' and in particular, the Homer & Marge Simpson 
collaboration on "Who Killed JFK?". After The Harpooned Heart group read we'll 
be ready for Melville.
