hello Adrian, fyi: i fixed and reposted my post about the IERG shedule, so you may want to change the link to it above. cheers-
Done.
I just picked this book up last month, and just happened to stumble onto this site again from another different post while reading a discussion about Zimmerman, so seems like a sign. Curious how to get involved in the reading group? Also, I could offer to host ch 5 if you still need someone…
cheers
Horatio (and anyone else who’s interested) – Getting involved in the reading group could take one of two forms: (1) reading along and commenting on the blogs as the discussion unfolds; doing that on the blog that is hosting in any given week would be best; or (2) actually hosting, as you’re offering for chapter 5. That chapter has been claimed since I wrote the above post, so I think we’re alright with the hosting part of it. (But in case anyone has to back out, for whatever reason, it’s good to have your offer. Would you be willing to do it on your blog?)
I’ll be hosting right here a week from now. It’ll be great to have your thoughts as we proceed!
Thanks Adrian, and I will start catching up on the first weeks. And yes I can always host if needed, just let me know, as this is all directly related to my interested and my dissertation work, so the more focus the better.
