drabley Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks Murakami. I'm on lunch break now. Seminars are for the birds. Now -- Tom. Are you going to participate fully and just take the hit on the shipping each time? I don't mind being the bloke that sends to you from over here, so you know there is at least one other person that is shipping overseas each time. -- OR -- I can just inform you of whatever book you need to purchase/borrow on your own. I'll hold on to it here until you're finished with your copy there and then forward to Casey on your behalf. Once your original book makes the rounds and ends at me, I'll be more than happy to send back. Either way, your first book will be The English Major by Jim Harrison. PM me your address and let me know how you wish to proceed. Thanks to Murakami once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterist136 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Unfortunately I am not going to be able to participate. I just won't have the time right now to be a active participant. I'm bummed. :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me your address and let me know how you wish to proceed. Thanks to Murakami once again. I quite like the idea of writing a little note in the book, so if you don't mind shipping the 4 books to me when it is time, i don't mind shipping the 4 books also. The only thing that concerns me is how long will we have each book, because international shipping is obviously going to take longer to arrive. i will PM you my address.

enjoyadrian Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 it was you - i must have made an assumption that you were in based on one post i saw - my bad. you're out now! It's okay. I wish i could be a part of it, but school is going to start soon and I need to make a 4.0 this semester, so it looks like reading for fun ain't happening for awhile.

whateverrrr Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 i'm also interested. Plus, if there is someone in the same city as you who, then maybe it would be easier to just meet up with them? If their next on the list of course. but, yeah, I'm definitely interested in this! also, i haven't read any of the books mentioned. I rather, feel like an idiot. Oh well, I'm still young. The time for reading is still upon me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattstrike Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I am unclear on when this is starting. Do we have a solid date yet? Who are we sending our mailing addresses to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drabley Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 I am unclear on when this is starting. Do we have a solid date yet? Who are we sending our mailing addresses to? So here's the rotation for group 1: I will send my book to Tom. Tom sends his to Casey. Casey sends his to Matt. Matt sends his to me. Tom has contacted me with his address. Matt -- I am PMing you mine now. Tom needs to contact Casey for mailing instructions. Casey needs to contact Matt for mailing instructions. I think the group of us are collectively ready, so we can start whenever. I will mail to Tom tomorrow. We'll give it a month to finish. If we're all done sooner, we can speed things up. But the overseas mail will slow things down a bit, but we'll just have to adapt. It will work, and it will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattstrike Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I take this to mean that we send our book to the person listed immediately? (Which means I better choose a book to send quickly!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
