and frankly, I am obsessed, I'm starting to get strange looks at Borders,
dragging in my doorstopper with 341 multicolored post-it tabs into 
work day after day, always taking more books out than were 
brought in, grabbing a fat remaindered book on Mythology (It's borrowed, 
I'll probably keep it), a Promo of  "Falling Man" (relates directly to the next 
section of AtD) by Don Delillo, American Dynasty by Kevin Phillips (The 
Bushes and The Walkers, all the way back, plenty  between 1893 and 1920). 
Today it was a promo of an upcoming novel entitled "The Alchemyst" 
concerning Nicholas Flamel and some of his undertakings with John Dee, 
which on the surface appears to be impossible, and another (that's right, 
another) copy of Burton L. Mack's "The Christian Myth". Wonder what 
Burton L. Mack is up to now?

In any case, thank you Ya Sam, Dave Monroe, bekah, Mark Kohut, 
mikebailey, big shout out to Tore Rye Andersen, Joseph T, Paul Mackin, 
kelber, rich, Ande, Tim Strzechowski, David Morris, Bryan Snyder, 
Glenn Scheper, pynchonoid (at least the little we get to hear from him 
these days), Robert Mahnke, Jasper, Carvill John (I found spending this
much time, with this much focus on the section we just passed through 
very illuminating, thank you very much), Expletive Deleted, Daniel 
Harper---wait, wait, they're playing music of ever increasing 
volume behind me, so I'm gonna have to cut this short, thank you all 
so very, very much. It's been quite enlightening. Oh, yeah---Sid Liftoff!!
Great working with you!!!

                           it was cheaper, Frenesi wanted actively to commit

                           and send her spreading awake into what should

                           I differ and agree with the majority...the book is 
                           TOO DENSE 
                           for only one week's worth per host......
 
                           What we need to do is respond.......
                           we are reading ATD closer and better than the others, 
                           I say.....

                           I second that. If every more or less active P-lister 
                           posts at least one response to each of the host's 
                           posts (and even 'thanks' and 'fine' are better than 
                           dead silence) then things will shape up a bit.
