Nomad beat me to it. The Modern Word's message board has it's share of signal-to-noise, but is still a good place to discuss some of the pinnacle writers of the previous century.
That problem is more to do with the medium; a message board is primed for short bursts of opinion rather then long, reasoned discourse. (Which isn't to say it can't and doesn't happen; it often happens here...) And with something like Gravity's Rainbow, it's hard to post a message that isn't either a toe in the ocean, or full submersion into novel...
Also, there was a good mailing list called WASTE.ORG, if I remember correctly. It was literary beyond Pynchon, with a strong Pynchon leaning(the name comes from Pynchon's Crying of Lot 49).
That said, most communities have a strong literary community, either at the universities or bookstores. Where I am has both if not more. And sometimes the best way to discuss a book is in person... |
