chapter 6 is up for grabs.

[Ron Judy]

Dear y'all,

Long-term lurker and list fan here, looking to take up Chapt. 6 of
V.-read if Jill really isn't up for it. It's been a while since I
looked at this novel, not sure what I can contribute, and I'm a list
newb, but I could use a close re-reading of this work.

At your service,

- Ron Judy

PS: what (if any) are the rules for group reads? For example, do I
need to wear a tie?
