Is this a prerecorded show?  'cause I thought you guys were gonna be too busy for awhile. 

Would an outline be sufficient for the show agenda?

we skipped last week, this show was recorded monday night but i've been kind of sick this week so i didn't get around to editing it until last night

the outline/agenda for the entry can be as sketchy or as in-depth as you want

Sorry, late to this one.

Good book discussion.  I want to buy an e-reader now.  Semi-related note.  Brother-in-law is a curator/lecturer at a University library and has a colleague that once did a lecture series on "Vampire literature".  He ended up reading The Passage for the sole purpose of trolling his colleague.  Didn't work out since she only considered books by female authors.  (Apparently the lecture was to a completely female audience)  He never did say whether he liked the book or not.
