Well, I've no problem with BIG novels, but I agree that they'd better
prove themselves worthy of the commitment they require.  I've not read
IJ, and probably never will, because I read DFW's Broom of the System
and thought it juvenile crap.  I know some people think IJ is great.
Do those same people like BOTS?
