To be into the art of the Novel and not be paying attention to what Thomas Pynchon has achieved is a terrible mistake. Mason & Dixon, Against The Day, and Gravity's Rainbow - I would wager some of the great reading experiences available to the reader of English. It would be a pity to miss them. Just a quick beer-soaked tribute ... a-and that's all, folks!

!! Damn straight (though I'm actually kinda jealous I'm not reading the critical edition of the Quran - that joint is probably tight yo...)
Yes. This cracker says it's a tight joint.
Here's a lesson I learned as a young man : if a cracker or honkie tells you a joint is tight, you best believe it.
btw, are you b=soaked in West Coast Sauce or East? I got the West Coast on.
Boulevard Brewing Tank 7 Kansas City - the Midwest!
Totally jealous. That Boulevard rocks like Quran!

I've been thinking about this, Geoff, and my conclusion is a tentative ::He dared to go where no one would try
He chose to fly where eagles dare.
Oh Nils, I'd almost forgotten about that gem!

Shit, well maybe I need to chill the fuck out here a minute, calm down, step back and get some nice cold objective critical distance before I go all praising Pynchon like this. I mean, if I keep on looking, I'm sure I'll find something, something demographic, ideological, political, aesthetic, or whathaveyou, to ruin my delight and tell me what this guy's really on about... I'm sure if I worked hard enough at it, I could have this guy's number.

When I find myself most lost in a prose passage of aesthetic bliss, this is when I should be most suspicious, most on-guard against authoritarian hegemony! That's how they get you!!

Indeed.
This is a picture of you and TP right now.
