i'm not sure that following a strict reading schedule will work. i mean, we all live such very different lives with varying types and degrees of responsibilities. i think it will be hard for all of us to follow at the same pace. we should just strive to get the book done in a month. that's pretty easy.

You're probably right... I had researched the book clubs, and that was their general structure.

So, we'll say on month from......TODAY? Somewhere in the area of Dec 12th, a month away. I bought the book at B&N today for 15 bucks.

$15? Ouch. I thought paperbacks would be available for less. Oh well.


How about December 13th, my house?

LSU bookstore had it for 12 bizzles or so. not that you boys would be caught dead around them parts, though.


13th is fine. Only hangup is that I have a gig in Alexandria that night, so I would need to do Lunch-time. If this is a problem, I'm willing to be absent or meet at another time.

I'm down for whatever... let's make sure there's beer.
