Against the Day Read-ux?

There have been several, all pretty fertile. I got a lot from each,
but then V. is still the TP novel of which I'm most fond (not my
favourite, not what I consider the best, not the most challenging,
etc).

Group reads have been a tough slog in recent years though - searching
the archives isn't much easier. The internet got all busy and
distracting and stuff.

Maybe we should do a Total Pynchon Read: over a month or two everyone
who cares to re-reads whatever novel they want and posts comments and
queries as they go. A kind of trans-chronological survey of a great
writer. No hosts, no schedules, just a lot of resonant frequencies
echoing around the interwebs and perhaps casting a new light on half a
century of fine thinking.
