Update on The Forever War
There was an error at the bookstore and next week’s book, Haldeman’s The Forever War, was not ordered when the others were. The bookstore has put in a rush order to have the books Purolated, but they may not be in until Monday, though they are hoping for Thursday or Friday. This week would be bad enough but if the book isn’t in until Monday it would be extremely awkward. What do people think: could you have it read over the weekend if it is here by Friday? If so, we can follow the schedule as written. If it isn’t here until Monday, though, the only thing I can think of doing is to move everything back a week and drop Bujold’s Ethan of Athos, as it isn’t here yet and so no-one will have bought it, and as there is no-one presenting on it. There are also no presentations booked for Elgin on March 10 or Tepper on March 31, though those books have been in for awhile and I assume that some of you have bought them already.
What I suggest is this: if the Haldeman is in by the end of this week — and I will email you as soon as I hear — we continue as scheduled. If not, then we treat next Tuesday as a movie day — I will find something relevent and/or fun — and push everything back a week. This would mean we would need to drop a book, and the Bujold seems like the obvious choice. Would this create difficulties for anyone presenting, to have your presentations pushed back a week?
Let me know what you think.
[Sorry for duplication but I am also going to email you this message on your uni accounts, and post it to FB.]
