Hmmmm..... I'm wondering if anybody but us two actually READ Invisible Man. Oh well, I'm looking for MORE participation on the From Here To Eternity thread in January. After all FHTE is probably the BEST American novel ever written and Peggy Noonan wrote a column saying why FHTE is an IMPORTANT novel for us to read. Also I am giving all the way to mid January (Jan. 13) to complete FHTE and with the holidays and all there is no excuse for members of the Freeper Reading Club not to read it.

Anyway, as always, you have been the most active participant in the Freeper Reading Club. Perhaps I should prescribe Sam Adams beer for the others to drink to inspire them to read more.

Well don't get discouraged. It might take a few months to get people here in the habit of reading a book every month. I've been reading at least two or three hours a day for over 20 years (not including my internet time) so reading your monthly book isn't that big of a deal for me.

But the vast majority of Americans haven't read a book since they got out of high school or college due to the fact that they watch the television.

Hopefully a lot more people are reading "From Here To Eternity."

I've read it, but I'll take the beer anyway. :)
