Tim, there is not enough interest at this time. Setting up a host list
doesn't get the ball rolling. Neither does hosting the first chapter.
I'm willing to do both, but it seems an exercise in futility.
We talked about the title of the novel. We discussed the Werner von
Braun quote. We heard from some of our most active participants. But
when I proposed that we start reading the novel there was very little
interest. For me, this August happens to be an ideal time to start a
big fat group reading of GR. However, I suspect that many of our fellow
P-listers are on holiday, busy reading other door-stoppers, whatever.
So, since you have the TPPM ready to go, why not start it and see how it
goes. As far as GR goes, I think we need at least 10 committed readers
and right now we have only one. That's me. Monroe has the biggest
baseball card collection on the block but he doesn't even no how to hold
a bat.
Here's lokin at you Chuck,
Peppermint Patty
