It's me, Harold, here to remind you guys that no author you'll never read a writer as rich as Shakespeare and no literary work as grand and universal as Hamlet.

Your welcome.

>>1106617
Well it was for a while, but I think recently it changed to Mason & Dixon, there's an Onion AV Club interview from 2005. I think that's the most recent comment he's made. I can agree with him on M&D being Pynchon's best, I know a lot non-Pynchon fans who love it as well.
