NP: Delayed comment on "The Dead Zone"

[Mark Thibodeau]

Thanks for the tip, Allen! I see that physical copies aren't to be had for
any price at the moment, and that digital versions go for nearly fifty
bucks Canadian (which is obscene). Fortunately, I was able to scour up an
unlocked digital version after a minimum of poking around for one.

If anyone wants directions on where and how to find it for themselves,
email me and I'll send  you those directions. Sorry, but if you're brand
spanking new to the Pynchon List or otherwise stink of narc, I will not
respond to your requests! LOL

I also can't wait for The Passenger. I hope not too many people take that
first review seriously. seemed to me like someone trying to make his bones
by taking on a Big Boy. It seemed to me as though he had nothing serious to
say about the book or McCarthy's work.
