<< Maybe I'm too anal-a-little-kill about this, but from my experience of
our P-Liste and my knowledge of information assurance, a Pynchon Freee
for All (PFFA) may sound interesting, but the S/N would be so much
lower and the control channel would need to be so much stronger that
we'd end up resembling a Burroughsian cut-up.   >>

Agree. Actual official 'Group reads' have a tendency to lose momentum, peter out, succumb to entropy etc. So an *intentionally* chaotic general Pynchon read 'n' write would surely flounder early? In any case, isn't 'read about Pynchon then email the list about it' pretty much what goes on here anyway?

That said, I agree with the comments regarding 'Against the Day' being worthy of more exploration.

Ps. The oomska 'Pynchonistas on Pynchon' thing is still in the works, but I am waiting for a couple of off-list Pynchon people to get back to me...
