That is so great about the reading list! Let me know what you'll read first and I'll get it and read it too. You seem to be good at starting up threads. Maybe you should start up the SI book discussion group. Identify a book. Preferably something available quickly and in paperback. Give everybody 10 days to two weeks to get and read it. Then start an on-line discussion of it. No cheating and posting early -- would have to make it moderated to ban those with such a tendency until the discussion has started, you make the first post on the book and say go. Give each book, say, 10 days. Then you could rotate books, a new book every 10 days. People could read one, all, several, whatever they wanted to. Sound like a plan??

If you all want, I will start a separate affiliated thread and we can start with this list, but I must think of a suitable header-- The Literary Sauna Sircle Books to Get Baked By Perspiration and Prose I went to the library and could find none of the resources on the list(well, heck, what do you expect from the Grapevine, Texas Library?) but I did get several of the books. I bet you've read a lot of them already- like Deliverance and IN COld Blood. I;m hoping to get to the big Dallas 1/2 price Book store this weekend; they have lots of textbooky things. One of the books was written by the prof himself. (I didn't even realize this until Karen mentioned it) I am starting with Camus' The Stranger. Camus said, "At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face."
