Omg, you've read Frank's work?   I am IMpressed.   That looks soooo  
good.   I've read so much around it,  quoting Frank, etc.   (And I've  
read about that many pages of Remembrance of Things Past so that's  
not the deal.)   Read a fair amount of Dostoevsky, of course - and TMOP.

And Infinite Jest sits on my shelf too.

See you for TMOP.
