Subject: Re: group reading of seduction?


ah, dissention already:  daniel, i loved seduction and look forward to debating :)  (i've only just finished reading it for the first time, and in a vaccuum with no guidance...i may change my opinion as we discuss...)

so we certainly have enough people to make this happen.  thanks to those who posted the link to the free text.  we'll start on or around the last weekend of feb./march 1.  i like the open, free-form, plateau-like space here so i vote not to add any more structure than we've got so far.  i'll be ready with an initial post to get things kicked off (if anything needs kicking...)

-s

ps, i like doing this sans-introductions, sans-list-of-who's-here.  it helps the posts carry equal weight.  hope you guys are on board with that.  talk to you all soon.
