Those of you that have been discussing Walden deserve a hand.  This has been one of the most active book discussions in quite a while, and I'm not blind to the fact that the success is owed to only a small handful of people. So good job guys.
This is why I'm turning to you. Is there a second book that you would like to read and discuss together? Pick anything you like and we can make it an official community discussion for October & November. If you plan to be as active in that discussion as Walden it would be a success. Let me know your thoughts. |

If Lawrence could have been with us, we would have ascended to a higher level.

| I think if we could pick a piece of book that had both philosophical as well as literary interest it would surely make for stimulate discussion. Walden is certainly such a book. So, what else is out there? |

Doesn't it make sense to do some 'Emerson' after 'Thoreau'?
Just a thought. |
