The first hangout to discuss the book is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 3rd at 7:30 p.m. Central/8:30 p.m. Eastern time in the U.S. and 12:30 p.m. in Australia.

If you wish to participate, you are encouraged to join +AwakeNetwork if you haven’t already. The g+ link is in the top menu.

Please note: The first flu bug of winter is here. I’m experiencing the early stages of it now. My friends at work who had it first laughed and said, “Enjoy a week in bed,” as I left this morning with splitting headache and nausea. So, I will do my best to coordinate the Hangout, but if I’m laid out with a fever, please go ahead and enjoy a lively discussion without me. Everyone I know who has had this virus has become immobilized by it. That said, hope to see you all at the Hangout.

Here's to your good health.

I'll be there! Best wishes for a speedy recovery,

Just checking - is anyone else gonna be here for this, which by my calculation is in four hours? Asking cos otherwise I'm gonna go in to work and do some marking, but I did finish the book and am definitely psyched for a chat about it if others are around.

I'll go if I can get myself signed in.

I'll be there as will Cedric and a few others who replied to an email reminder that I didn't send to those who had already RSVPed.

Yay

Well now I managed not to understand that I had to join this group's community, thinking I was okay because I'm on Google+. So I just requested to join. If I don't get the okay in time, I will just have to hear from others how it went! Been reading the book, though, and enjoying it .

The okay only takes a minute. You should be good Laurel.

Not there yet . . . Is it Chris or Tom who has to give the go-ahead? (My iPad tried turning that into "godhead")

OK if this is how it works, and I'm not sure, this is the link for the hangout
