Entropy sounds about right. The most notorious, fun & active participants
seemed have all wandered off over the past couple years, along with the bulk
of our past energy. "Discussing" those essays here was nothing but a drag,
and w/ no new novel in about 9 years it seems our fuel has grown tiresome.
COL49 hasn't been "group read" here in at least 9 years, but GR, M&D, V, VL
have all been, some more than once. Personally I'm not a big fan of that
book (but I might participate in a group read of it here). Group Reads all
start off fine, but usually peter out in the long run, or get derailed by
side-fighting, with only a handful keeping the ball rolling. I think a
start would be to see who'd like to voluteer as "hosts," to see if enough
interest exists.
