There are always low-energy points during group reads.
Maybe someone who has more time (and energy) than the rest of us could
throw together some sort of bullet point summary, listing, I dunno,
the Top Ten Things We've Learned About Inherent VIce Thus Far, not
necessarily restricted to what we've learned during the read, but what
we all collectively have learned since publication.
Obvious starting points might be: the connection between
Lemuria/Bigfoor/Wolf Man, etc; or that the book ends on Pynchon's
birthday; or the meaning of 'sportello' as in door, window, etc.
A-and/or, a list of 'kute korrespondences', my fovurites being the
(possible) link between the ARPANET and GR, and teh fact that Ida
Lupino directed the Pilot episode of Gilligan's Island.
Stupid idea?
By the way, the digests are still buggered - all Sender and Subject
lines read "[none]"
