Mark I'm not sure if you, when you say, "IF, I said IF, we finish[...]" you
are talking about reading/finishing the whole book. As of right now I, for
one, am up for a comfortably paced group (re)read of the whole book, if
anyone else is. I actually started rereading last month, going deliberately
slowly, trying to limit myself to just a few pages at a time, but really,
really digest every word of it. Would love to restart that in the company
of everybody else here.
