Retry: In a previous thread, I asked you: "Did it seem like Pynchon, considering he is tackling very contemporary material, seem aged at all or irrelevant?" You said, resoundingly, "NO." Since you are posting about it again, I thought maybe you had just recently finished and at the time of our previous conversation were still in the process of reading Bleeding Edge. I was curious as to whether your experience that lead to the comment above about the last two-thirds of the novel perhaps sullied your initial opinion, which was pretty positive.

No snark intended. My first comment sucked.
