I see your point, Esty. I was just quite...well...disappointed by the absence of threads as active as the Canon thread used to be. It was just a new thing for me not to see even a single thread with a brightly glowing "fireball" next to it, if you know what I mean. :) By the way, I did notice that there are less and less posts in the CbC threads as the subforum advances. And these are supposed to be the more interesting chapters (at least for me)!

Vacation time - August. Peak by November. Than Christmas, everybody busy. Another peak by March.

I keep on forgetting the fact that I live in a country that is probably the only one in the world that starts school in June. Thanks for reminding me, HI.

Here is a piece of evidence that supports Rim's proposal that individual uniquity will always lead to different interpretations - and consequently discussions - of literature. That a single phrase - a word, even - from a thousand-something page novel could catalyze such a high level of discussion is testament to the fluid nature of literary analysis.
