No one can read all the books. For a person to understand the entire life of an Other would require reading and understanding all its experience - a parallel life-time. As an alternative, the Other (Eric, Rod, Steve..or any List-member) reads, understands, communicates: 1) theme and arguments of the book's author 2) a personal evaluation of (1) IMHO, that would be the modus operandi for helping each other understand the text of "Le Differend", Call it the "First Round". If other books and other authors are to be discussed, defer that discussion until the "Second Round". cheers, Hugh
