i think it could be a great supply with the posting of essays too, both =
by the
members but also by authors of these books under discussion. its easy to
say that we can read that book and that book, but the fact is that most =
of
books like that kind are expensive like hell, at least in denmark and =
probably alot
other places too, and maybe out of print and unobtainable. even at the =
library=20
these books could be hard to dig up because people have a very sick way =
of
wanting to own things and not respecting the service from the libraries =
-=20
so alot of that kind of books, and alot of others too, simply disappear =
from the
shelves and i find that totally disrespectful...stealing books from a =
public library!!
- so not much other choice to reach deep down in your pocket and hope =
to find
them at amazon.com ...and starve for 2 months --- so maybe the two =
options
of reading, and discussing, but also the essay or any other written =
words connected
to the subject, would seem like a great idea!
best,
