To give people a chance to sign up for the readalong list, I tentatively suggest we continue discussing it *here* for another day or so. > Starshadw at aol.com writes: > > > Well, technically, the readalong is supposed to work like > > a book club.

[...] Idea: The readalong charter should include the requirement that *this* mailing list be informed of the following: + The start of a readalong discussion of a book. + The end of a readalong discussion of a book / The start of a readalong discussion of which book to do next. It also seems to me that when a new Brust book is out, it's one natural choice for a readalong. I almost want to say there should be another mailing list, latest-book, that is used for the first month or two that a new book is out: + It might simplify spoiler protection a bit. + Anyone who is still catching up, e.g. on the Vlad series, or doesn't have the resources to read a book the instant it is out can more easily avoid spoiler-filled discussion, of which there will probably be a lot. (Unsubscribing temporarily sounds double ungood unfun.) - tky
