we have made it pretty far into the book; I think some
very neat info has come up, both in terms of references
and interpretations.  A lot more than one person
could have done on their own.

if I were a pro
critic or teacher of some kind (as some are on the list?) 
I'd be holding back my best stuff to sell...
as it is, I've been having a
revival of interest and posting like mad - though 
shooting off as wildly sometimes as if I were 
the Checkered Demon hopped up on pills 'n' potions 
& eating my own snot - the group read may not compare
to group reads of the past (I keep meaning to read more
archives) but what else would be better to post on?

It's not like nobody feels free to go off-topic...
and even such as it is it's a great distraction 
from automucophagy...
