Are you planning on participating? Email me at laney_po at yahoo dot com to let me know. (Or leave a comment with your email address.) I'll send out a group email to remind you the week before discussion starts. It's not required to let me know in advance, but you won't get the email reminder if you don't. :)

Undecided? You can read the first four chapters (and prologue) online.
