Reddit to Group Read Gravity's Rainbow

P-list group reads have been very fruitful, however erratic and stumbling.
The few that dedicate themselves to participating make it rewarding.
They always
have limped to finish, loosing most participants along the way.  But we've
always taken them at a snails pace, GR takes about a year @ P-list speed.
 So it's no wonder they finish weak.
