Hey Gang,

Why don't we try another Group read after our hiatus? Of this novel. It can
be looser than our
tight group reads. We who have read it, can pick it up again and remember
aloud online a bit.

Newbies can be as appreciative and full of quotes from it and remarks about
it as they want and can.
if Laura chooses to read it, she knows the drill, can modify it and be the
leaderless leader. So to speak.

Mark
