The Importance of Reading Ernest discussion

Hey everyone. I've noticed a big tailing off of interest over the past little while, and I'd hate to see our group fall apart, so I've decided to make some changes.

First, story discussion will now run for a month. Two weeks seems a little pressed, and a month should give people a chance to take it easy and get to the story when they can. I hope it will encourage more people to comment as well.

Second, I am going to open a new topic for suggestions of stories you are interested in making our story of the month. That way we can pick some stories that people actually want to read, rather than the random generation of stories that leads us obscure works no one has ever heard of (maybe we can do more of those later).

Third, I am going to keep trying to find new people to lead discussions as the months go by. New voices make discussing much more fun.

Fourth, I am going to beg: please, please, please, invite anyone you know who you think might be interested in this group to come join us.

Sorry, I've been holding off to finish reading that last story entry. I may say I be the more naive of a reader and wait for the others to have their postings before I attempt my deconstructing the short story using my opinions, which are blocked most of the time. I generally miss out on creativity and meanings hidden past the usual fragments of stories which is why anyone may wish to discuss the probabilities. Ok, since I said that, I'll try not to put my foot in my mouth later on.

I, for one, hope we keep plugging along. I've yet to develop the appreciation some of you have for Mr Hemingway, but I think I'm getting there. I'm slow.

I had to return my Hemingway book to the library today and have plans to to buy my own copy tomorrow. So let's keep at it!

THANKS

Hey...that's real progress. We made you buy the Hemingway. Sweet.
