M&D Proposal

[Arthur Fuller]

I'm in, but have never participated in such a group-reading before. Is the
idea that I ought to have read the particular section by the beginning
date, or that I take the couple of weeks to read that section. I plugged
all the page-sections into my Google Calendar just to be sure I stay on top
of it.
