Your answer. So far.

Before "it is too late". ---page 3, line 3.

GROUP READ of Beyond the Zero section of GR.
In Memory of Dave Monroe and James Kyllo & because Laura Kelber.

>From scene to scene, sprockets to sprockets, as they were first
thought to be.  (But they're not. Who knows what they mean?)
One week per sprocket bracket (since almost all have read it already,
right, many more than once?).    Pick your sprocket below.

Starting now. Short sections. The Big Short. Martin Short.
You can improvise day-by-day, they are so short,  no need to prep
within your busy life.Just point and ask questions and the smart
under-posters will give the answers. Ask our translators.  A--and the
bloviators will blow. So you will have a breather. Did I say short?
Did I say improvise? Did I say "Self, no need to say everything you
think should go on record, anything more than zero on the page is
better than zero and the beyond is still beyond."

Jan 8--16          Pp 3--8      Mark Kohut, intrepid bloviator.
Jan 17-23         pp 8--17
Jan 24--31      pp 17--20

in with their overarching GR experiences and perceptions)

Feb 14-21     pp 30-38
Feb 21-27     pp 38-42

Apr 10-16         pp 85-94

(Will auction off an overarching
                                                    summary to the
first person who asks.)

This pagination is from the Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, Miller cover.
