I don't care which

[Ian Livingston]

Oh boyoboy.  I was just poised to start re-reading Vineland, having
completed my summer intensive with GR.  Going through in order, so it may be
possible that I'm on to M&D before the discussion of Vineland is complete.
Downside for me is that the energy and internet connection here where I am
is limited by winter cloudiness (I'm off the grid), so my access may be
choppy as the season progresses.

Still, I agree with Robin that 5 pages a week may be too slow.  I find that
going too slow leads to an abundance of lateral digression, which can be
fun, if somewhat inclined toward entertainment rather than edification.  We
autodidacts can incline to spin off pretty freely if not driven by some sort
of schedule.

I look forward to following and hopefully being able to contribute to the
discussion.

And Xmas is no great distraction for some.  Those of y'all with fambly
obligations will have to decide that matter.
