friends,
i would really love to get a reading group under way. here is my plenary
suggestion. any thoughts?

Monday March 18: Chapter 1- Las Meninas (that's about 13 pages by my count)
Wed. March 20 : Chapter 2- The Prose of the world- the first subsection
                          entitled The Four Similitudes (9 pages)
Fri.  March 22: Chapter 2- the second subsection entitled Signatures (5
                          pages)
Mon. March 25: Chapter 2- the the third and fourth subsections entitle
                         the limits of the world and the writing of things
Wed. March 27: Chapter 2- the final subsection entitled the being of language


That seems like a good place to stop and get some feedback. What do you
think. Too fast, too slow, bad divisions?
