Shell My thoughts exactly, but as we can discuss any books on the Worms list, I think it sensible to just talk about our chosen books. There are too many emails coming into our inboxes as it is without adding too many to the number. I am sure we will occasionally stray and talk of other books, but I think it sensible to confine our discussion to the book we are reading, the book we are discussing, and future books to read. Now I must go and look at what I should be reading. We are still waiting for alan to join us, but that will not happen until next week as he is away from home for a few days.

I think there has been a small amount of confusion recently as we've been moving lists, but this should be all sorted out now. I quite like the idea of an open discussion where we can attach books we are chatting about, but if this is going to cause problems for other members with the volume of emails I'd rather cut it down to just the monthly book rather than have to lose anyone because they were put off by the amount of messages.
