If enough people are interested, we can from time to time decide as a group to read a book and discuss it on the listserv. We would need to make the connection to literacy in our discussions. If people are interested in reading a book that is not connected to literacy then I would encourage people to individually email each other and create a small group that discusses that particular book.

Bonnie et al,

The first book I'd like to suggest is by Catherine MacKinnon, "Are 
Women Human?'  I've talked about this book on the list before, as I 
bought it after hearing MacKinnon, but I would like to read it WITH 
other people.  has anyone here had experience with leading a book 
discussion?  She is a lawyer with an international clientele, very 
lucid speaker, very thoughtful, very respectful of audience questions.

What do others think?
