Too much Pynchon

I know this is late but life has been hectic.

I read in dreams - at least I try.  I'm usually reading a newspaper.   
I study that  page really hard to make sense of the letters floating  
around.  Sometimes the words are there but there's no sense - it's  
just kind of word salad - short words.   I'd love to read a new  
Pynchon novel in my dreams.
