I would love to come...I'll have to draw straws with Mark to see who gets to do it, so we can leave the kids at home. I've been wanting to read this...

It sounds like I am going to get the short straw...
Perhaps you could have a live video feed like Oprah?

I am sure we could Skype...or you have one month to find a sitter!

Mark doesn't have to get the short straw...I can stay home with the kids. The problem is we really don't have a wealth of babysitters to draw from...

For those of us that live outside the Washington area, it would be great if you were able to follow up on thoughts or questions from the reading on your site so that we could follow along. Or even create great discussion leading up to your books nights that we can join in.

I see that you start on June 23rd, are you hoping that everyone has read the whole thing by then or are you doing a chapter a week?

After I read this book, I couldn't help but think of Jesus' six woes to the Pharisees in Luke.

I imagine Him saying something similar today.

Woe to you Christians and religious folks, you homophobes, you preach "hell and damnation" for their lifestyle while you eat your 10th piece of double-fried chicken.

Hi Dave. If we can get Skype up and running by then is that something you would be interested in? That way you can be apart of the discussion live.

I do envision the book being completely read by the 23rd of June. I will post some questions before the book club meeting and I would welcome your insights. I will also post highlights from the meeting as well. I would really appreciate your input!

Thanks!

I'm available...and have already read UnChristian. **GRIN** Unfortunately, Mondays are our volunteer nights. Anne volunteers at a pregnancy center thingy house thing. And I take care of the kids. So, Mondays are out.

**SIGH**

Sorry, I've been incommunicado lately. I still have to finish my book review on MY blog.

AAAAAAAUUUGHHHH!!!!

Life gets in the way.
