As an “amateur” academic (i.e. doing on my own time to keep myself sane post motherhood), I will definitely pick this up and follow along the “big kids” in their blogs and comments.

I’m so pleased to hear of this early, strong interest in our book club! To answer Indyanna’s question, the three of us who aren’t hosting the discussion on a given Monday will direct readers to the blog that is hosting, so that we keep the conversation happening all on one blog and in one thread. So, you don’t have to bookmark this post if you check in here or at one of the other blogs regularly–we’ll prompt you when a new post is up at another blog.

There goes Spring Break in Mexico, but it’s worth it. I’ll sign on. Will these successive weeks be linked on all of the blogs in question (a technology not available for those 70s dinners) or by migrating from one to the next each Monday? Great picture, Historiann. Is that installation permanently installed somewhere, or in storage, or does it travel around from time to time?
