MD Read?

[Mark Kohut]

O, I get it. So it begins. The M & D read. With a surface-brilliant rant
that is a gloss on the first page, including "the cheaper Wave-
like Grain known in the Trade as Wand'ring Heart, causing an illusion of
Depth into which for years children have Gaz'd as into
the illustrated Pages of Books"....along with so many hinges, etc".

Let's see is this a confirmation or a refutation of your exhortation, Mike?
or both? WWPS?

A--and fuck it. This list, unable any longer to EVER finish a Group Read,
now cannot even BEGIN a Group Read!
What a joke.


Well, I finally stopped masturbating into the ocean, metaphorically
speaking (except that the List was not even close to as Jungian as the
great ocean; the List was where bureaucrats sent their emails--or didn't)
 with the last M & D read,  as in that scene from Anderson's first Pynchon
movie, The Master, which scene is about the ending of V, I'm convinced, but
I won't be fooled again.

I'm not starting the Read.
