Just wondering what to really expect at the Barnes and Nobles class that's on th home page thing. I'm thinking of doing it but I'm not sure. what really is it? Discussing the book and more?

I haven't the faintest idea, either. I'll show up and do what they tell me to do, and then we'll both find out what it is.
I think it's a fairly new program, so maybe it'll be whatever we make it.
Or maybe it's been going on for YEARS, and this was the first time I was judged worthy to participate ...

Ha that'll be fun, I'm joining.

I signed up too, also not knowing what it will be like... I'm also still waiting for my copy of the book to arrive, which with luck will be tomorrow. Then I've got something fun to do in any free time I have between all the meetings this weekend.

signed up. Posted by Orson Scott Card (Member # 209) on :
I've been told about 400 people have signed up. So it will be like serving meals to people on a 747. Or maybe not.
I suspect that they hope it will turn out to be kind of like ... the Hatrack forums.

The Barnes and Noble courses have been going for at least four years. That could be recent. A teacher of mine once applied the term "recent" to something that happened before I was born. They're pretty informal. Kinda like this place. Comfy like.
