Hiya, sorry I've been smothered and away from the reading a bit...that and I had to return my checked out copy (I'm so cheap
). I'm picking it up again Wed., so I'll catch up and can do another chapter.

Thanks! Actually, why don't I take ch. 10, so I can be sure I'll be all caught up by then?

Yeah, sorry I've been absent of late. Really busy, and somebody has my library's copy of the book checked out.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Hi, guys.
I updated the schedule list.
I wanted Chapter 9 because of the new people we meet in it. Plus getting to know Ted better. So I'll pause for Ch 9 in the middle of THE ONE TREE.
Syl, are you in the middle of the ocean? No corner bookstores, I guess.
I hope you get your chance to grab it soon.
I have a smiley of a little person reading, but this board won't take it. It would be a nice addition.

Yeah, that's my Unfortunate Horse with Big Donkey Ears. Now you mention, it is kinda Quixotic. I like that. 
Chapter 10 is great, have fun with 9, Joy!

Heh, sometimes I am, but not currently. Have no worries; I'll locate a copy before my chapters. I'm usually no good with responses to dissections, anyway.

I have finally managed to get my hands on my copy of the books, so I can help out with the group read.
If you want to I can do chapter 11, but I probably will not have time until the weekend and if that is too late I can always do another chapter later.
