I know we've been pretty random and chatty around here, when we can manage to actually get in here and post...but I always feel a bit silly when not discussing a book in person: what are the kinds of questions one asks of which books...how do we turn our reader idiosyncrasies into interesting conversations ...how do we draw each other into discussing things even if we haven't read them together?

How do we create, for each other, those links between text & self, text & other texts, text & the world around us?
