    Christmas 'live' read??

    Does anyone want to do another seasonal quick/live read like when we read sleepy hollow??
    if yes itll have to either be the 17th of december or the second week in january?
    If you say yes can you please suggest a short story?


    Oh and wether (is that right??) you want to actually want to read it while we chat or before?

    Edit by short I mean SHORT Xmas story as in one that will take at the most an hour to read less if possible maybe the length of Sleppy hollow?

    It's "whether"

    I'd need to know what time. I play harp every Saturday at a Tea Room until about 3:00 EST. Sometimes I have to stay later, especially because of the Holidays. But I think a live read of Sleepy Hollow would be fun! How exactly does it work?

    Url]http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13873[/url]
    no this will be a xmas story or newyear one or even a Im not doing xmas this year story.

    anything i guess thats newyearsy xmasy or but short is the key word.
    what happens is that I get to be boss ok other stuff as well
    we read the story the day of the chat , the day before the chat or while chatting (it got a bit confused last time) and then discuss it starting with live chat and then continuing here maybe over a few das
    so you interested??

    Sorry, misunderstood. That's what I get when I disappear! I've never been able to join these things because I was always studing for a class.

    Is A Christmas Carol short enough? I can't really think of anything else at the moment.

    Oh, okay. How about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? That's the only other Christmas one I can come up with right now, but it's also a great read!

    bah I thopught I had replied to this.
    Its just that the story is short enough to be read while we are discussing it and is online

    so is anyone want one??
    if yes itll be an O Henry story I think

    I hope I can do this, it sounds really fun. But I'll know better closer to the date, since my work schedule is going to be a little crazy close to Christmastime.
    If you had to live with this you'd rather lie than fall.
    You think I can't fly? Well, you just watch me!
