AtD Group Read

[Steve Maas]

I don't doubt that you're right about Andrew's official start date for the 
well-organized M&D group read. However there were a multitude of (less 
well-organized) posts about the book beginning immediately on it's release 
at the end of April 1997.

As I'm not much interested in literary criticism, I have nothing to fear 
from the no-doubt brilliant and riveting revelations revealed by the 
perfessers on the list. But for me, annotation by group effort is the fun 
part. Reading details that others have ferreted out about the historical 
context of events in the book, and sharing those that I have discovered 
myself, only adds to my enjoyment of a first read. Of course, your mileage 
may vary.
