I read Gravitys Rainbow five times but it was in the middle of the Reagan Administrations so it counts as 15.
It is like reading the small intestines of history backwards and forwards between 1941 and 1966-73. I find new allusions that it is making in history all the time-- eg I just last night was reading of Der Springer Press in Adenauers West Germany CIA country.
I have to agree that readers of DPF will really dig this book. Their headstart in footnoting the paranoia of history will be a huge headstart. I just sort of assumed that everyone had read it.
