Darcy showed up from the other group, as well as some ladies my age who came because of 'Everybody Reads'. It was quite different - almost more a long poem than a novel. I ended up thinking that I'd read it too quickly, and needed to do it again, with spaces between the chapters.

A lot of new people, including a couple of students who were reading it in Spanish, and a subdued discussion. (Carolyn, who was not there, sent word that she actually liked it!)
