I might have counted on your bloviation, Carvill.  I particularly like 
the strutting masculinity of calling me a sad wee cunt.  Nothing like 
the internet for posing as a tough guy.  Am I supposed to picture you 
as Braveheart?

I have no interest whatever in your opinion of Pale Fire.  And I didn't 
say PF was better than GR.  Perhaps you could read what I write rather 
than search for typos. ("The asshole wrote thing instead of think.  
I've got him!") Grand.

Statements like this always make me a little batty. No other author 
could have written GR because no other author is Pynchon. But GR is 
not "far beyond" War and Peace or Ulysses or In Search of Lost Time, or 
Moby Dick or Pale Fire or 100 Years of Solitude or .... fill in as you 
see fit.

We all love GR, but this sort of mindless idolatry is the bane of this 
list (and makes me thing you haven't read very much).

Imagine, if you will, being the sort of sad wee cunt who subscribes to 
a mailing list, quite an obscure one foax, for year after year after 
year, mind you, yet who=2
0only makes supremely negative comments, sniping 
at other people's posts. Can you imagine that?Then, imagine if it made 
you 'thing' bad 'things'!FWIW, I'll take GR over Pale Fucking Fire any 
day. If you disagree, maybe you'd be better pissing your bile over at 
the Nabokov List? I hear it's a blast.
