Prolegomena to Searching for V. group read.

[Mark Kohut]

I have been spending a couple-three very peaceful early mornings getting lost in "V." like it is my old 'hood. Wonderful feeling(s).

If I read Laura aright, I can start?  That's good, 'cause as many know, I CAN talk/write too much......

'Cause, after all the later Pynchon's and all the plist's insightful brushwork and talk therapy, there is much to say, much
to observe, I say. I'll flood the three weeks faster'n you can delete! (Sorry. But deleting's easy, rich associative comedy is hard)

I will start with some prolegomena to V. [prolegomena---word I learned in book title of Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics----
book still unread] This is in case any of you who might have been planning to start rereading V. closer to the original 6/14 start date can
start NOW...do it, it is worth it. 
 
Let's make this the BEST group read goin' down anywhere in the world, 'kay?
 
All together now..............
