I love your description of the Gravity's Rainbow effect. It's all too common, even though I actually really like Thomas Pynchon. Are we really going to stick with this novel for all ten million parts? I was willing to brave Part 1, but I don't know if I have the intestinal fortitude to keep going.

I'm going to try ... I've got a lot of other things to read for "real" commitments at the moment, so unfortunately 2666 will be the first to go if I have to ditch something. That said, I read very quickly and it's a point of pride with me that I don't leave books unfinished. So I'll be around. Hopefully.

(The Wikipedia page mentions that Archimboldi was partially based on Pynchon? Not sure if that's speculation or fact.)
