I have decided to leave the first weeks reading selection up for a second week. This way we can accomodate for all the new forum users who are joining this weekend in the open registration trial, and to allow everyone to get a copy of the book on hand should they so desire. In the future I'll give some time between polls and the start of a book to allow book club users to go out and purchase it or find a source they are comfortable with. For those who prefer to download the book online for free, I am working on some possible solutions for a safe place to host the books we read. In the mean time, I think I will upload the digital versions of the books to anonfiles or some place similar. For those who have already read the first weeks assignment, please feel free to continue discussing the material in the thread that's open, or just take a break and come back on Friday when I start the thread for the second half of the book. Your's in liberty, ~inigo
