What kind of books are you reading? You're telling on yourself (and very arrogant about it).

My thought exactly. Not all books are the same, and I'm willing to bet that GP is not reading the same books that I am, and not with the same goals.

		Even Pynchon's lightest work yet, the newly released Shadow Ticket, has me immediately reading it a 2nd time for many details I missed the first time through. Imagine the arrogance of shaming a Pynchon reader assuming they should never need to check notes or refer back to earlier pages.

It's more telling about the current state of affairs than the person who commented. Forgetting things is part of life, move on, we don't need daddy bezos sucking 1.21 gigawatts per request to tell you that some side character drunk a beer 12 chapters ago so you can enjoy the joke you just missed.

I don't mind bezos using 1.21 gigawatts per request, as long as it's only for a very short time.

Brutal on the crest factor though, you'll definitely get a snotty phone call from your power company if you keep that up.

		Maybe. Depends on how many capacitors you have.
