[close] Everyone around here who is not a GIGANTIC, totally out-of-it super-nerd LOSER is planning to start reading MIDDLEMARCH on-or-about November 1. Or, you know, whenever. Like this Fall at some point. Anyway, you should demonstrate your instinct for the cutting edge cool by signing up now to read MIDDLEMARCH! Then start looking for a nice used copy, while trying to get friends, family members, and coworkers to pledge a certain amount of money for each chapter of MIDDLEMARCH that you manage to read. At the end, we'll all pool our money together to buy a new tuba, and a whole bunch of beer! And once we're all done, even the pokey stragglers, we'll do a musical skit -- online -- in which everyone acts out their favorite characters and scenes from the book.

YES!

P.S. This group is really exclusive and is only for the elite, i.e., people who are planning to read (or reread) MIDDLEMARCH on or around November 1, 2009. [close]
