Title: Message to the Percy-L Community
I was just wondering if anything like that had been done on the Percy List. I was once a member of a Patrick O'Brian list and they did a "group read" of all of the Canon of 22 books that POB wrote--1 each two months if I remember. Would this be an appropriate use of this list. We used a kind of a standard subject line, such as "GroupRead Master and Commander" so that email clients could easily easily sort on just that thread. People who wished to participate did, those that did not simply filtered out that thread.
 
I for one would love some sort of a stuctured way that would "force" me to go back through the Percy Canon--especially with some guidance from all the able bodied seamen that inhabit this ship.
 
Just a thought.

Subject: [percy-l] Reading SK's Stages on Life's Way

Dear Percy-L friends:
 
Over at Korrektiv (http://korrektiv.blogspot.com) we are slowly muddling our way through a non-scholarly reading of Kierkegaard's Stages on Life's Way -- with occasional sidelong glances towards Percy.
 
Please come on over and join in the discussion.
 
Best regards,
Jonathan Potter
