I have heard from 2 people that are unsure if they will be able to make it to the discussion so we have plenty of room for you! You logic was spot on and we are glad to have you sign up! Hopefully you don't have a problem finding the book. I am encouraging people to check used book stores and sites like ABE.com since I know at B&N as well as borders the book runs about 15$ which is just crazy. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress!!Padfoot and Prongs - Good Books Inc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09436410858315526506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-9336897100418650462009-10-10T16:20:55.853-04:002009-10-10T16:20:55.853-04:00I added my name to the list, making me #17.

I wasn't sure if the 15-limit rule included you (meaning there could really be 16 signed up, since you're the first entry); one person appears to be signed up twice for the 15th and 16th slot. I thought it might be a mistake, so I added my name just in case. If, however, you meant 15 including you, then please feel no ill will toward me and simply tell me to try again next time (which I will).<br><br>Thanks!Jessie Samshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11756322311215232859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199256706975499037.post-41347742392227006482009-10-10T09:49:40.740-04:002009-10-10T09:49:40.740-04:00Great idea!

Not to give to much away, but there really never is a point where Howard admits to seeing anything wrong with what he did, which makes him (and Humbert) such interesting characters. And yes I think the writing is so elegant which really is a big hit for me.

We are glad you love the idea and would love for you to participate in any way possible. The only reason we have a limit is because we fear that with more than 15 it might be hard to keep the discussion organized with out people going off on their own conversations, or not being heard. However we will do our best to include every one and feel free to leave comments about the book at any time!!<br><br>@E.L Hey glad to hear you are on board!
