I think you've hit the nail on the head re. the amount of group
participation with this group read.  I'm still only about 2/3's
through the book, and I've not been taking notes.  I have jotted down
a couple of light bulb flashes that I'll share at the moment those
parts of the book come up.  But I don't think this group read is
"dead," just not fully baked, for the reason you note.  Seriously, how
much insight could any of us contributed to a GR group read as we were
reading it the first time?  But, hey!  Why not just keep going and let
it be what it is?  Every host has their own style and focus, some that
I find interesting and others not.  But unless someone feels put-upon,
what else would we do here?  And we could always do another AtD group
read in the future.
