for Pynchon fans -- advice please

FYI Alan Jacobs is blogging his reread of the Pynchon oeuvre and it's adding up to some of the best writing about TRP I've read in a long time. Begins here http://text-patterns.thenewatlantis.com/2016/12/the-big-pynchon-re-read.html

already stopped blogging about it cuz he's gonna write a book :(

baffled by his feelings regarding ATD, sure it has a particularly disorienting & lengthy diversion in the middle, but the ridiculous parts are just what you roll with in a Pynchon book, as he refers to re: Vineland
