Getting back to Elisabeth's original comment about the difficulty of starting M&D being akin to the difficulty of M&D's actual journey, I felt similarly towards my first read of GR. I often didn't know who was speaking or what was meant, and felt it gave me empathy for Slothrop's general state of paranoia: who's out there and what are they up to?

>Also Becky, there’s that word traverse again in your beautiful sentence. It comes up in the beginning of Chapter 3 of M&D. I only heard it as a name in AtD before (Webb). Didn’t really know it was a word. It must mean work, right? Hard work? Like the Spanish ‘trabajo’?
