a new list!

For anyone who is interested in the idea of a reading group conducted by
mailing list, which we discussed a few weeks ago, there is now one in
place: BananaBooks!
To join, send mail to:
listproc@lists.nyu.edu
Leave the subject line empty and let the body of the message say:
subscribe bananabooks FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
... where, of course, you substitute your own name for "FIRSTNAME LASTNAME"
in the example above.
There is no book yet proposed for discussion. I suggest that you join the
list and, after you have received and read the "welcome" message, introduce
yourself and offer a handful of titles you'd like to see under discussion.
There's no reason why multiple books can't be under discussion, if you use
a subject line that indicates the title in brackets, e.g.:
[WUTHERING HEIGHTS] Why Heathcliff should be on MTV
[PORTNOY'S COMPLAINT] How come Nathan Zuckerman has back pains?
We can toss a few titles around and see how things work out.
Cheers to all, and a salute to the subscriber who suggested this idea!
