F*ck yeah I'm in on being a co-host; cheers -

Ah, David, while I am a Slow Reader as well, and possibly an even Slower 
Learner, I think we'll be just fine...drop me a line, (er.. not Lineland!) 
and we can begin to speculate on those hundred pages.

Oh yeah, here are some almost focused thoughts from earlier today when I had 
sticky-patch electrodes shooting though my right shoulderblade in physical 
therapy, which shot arcs of discomfort through my musculature, but hopefully 
in that painfully necessary manner:

i suggest us p-list comarades make a pact agreement that whomever grasps the 
first ARC swing it facedown onto a scanner and share it w/the collective; 
being bretheren and a collective of like-minded individuals (in the sense 
that while we have our disagreements, we educate one another about our 
point-of-views, and not just throw stones through glass houses), but because 
we all will glorify the publisher(s) with multiple-orgasmic payments to 
cover the purchase of a first edition and at least hoist another 10 copies 
for our less intellectually-chalenged friends, a u.k. first edition 
(probably w/a better cover design), a plush-doll novel tie-in, a BCE (for 
mom), a movie tie-in, a mass market, a trade paperback, a library bound, a 
large print, a semaphore, a second edition, a foreign language (swahili?, 
bjorkian?, borgesistan?), and my favorite, the board-book w/touch & feel 
pages.  we could go scratch & sniff, but we all know it's always closer to a 
choose your own adventure.

douglas adams hepled co-write some infocom text adventure games, could you 
imagine if pynchon did the same?  oh, wait, that's what we're doing here :-)

my mini ra(nt)mbling,

Jeremy Rice (who failed to use speil chek on thus, alus)

Oh good.  I can get along nicely with Jeremy, and being that late in
the sequence will be a boon to this Slow Reader.
