I don't care which

[Bekah]

I don't care which one is read first either but I know that I  and  
some others would be really conflicted as to which thread to choose  
if more than one book ran at a time.   And I also think that one  
thread or the other would suffer seriously.   I think perhaps no one  
is really hard-set for one or the other.

I'm in favor of a plan in which someone raise his hand and offer to  
organize a reading of (his choice - one of the options we've been  
discussing) and we go from there.
