Next week, our final for this Group Read, is a catch-all of sorts. On the table for discussion is:

• Any final, wrap-up comments you may have about the book as a whole or your focus topic
  
• Discussion of the cancelled chapters (linked for you below)
  
• A Virtual View free-for-all: Watch either Persuasion adaptation and praise or revile it to your heart's content. I'm planning to watch P1, as I haven't seen it in years and think the memory of the green plaid dress and 1971 Senior Prom hairdo have faded just enough to allow another view. Then I'll probably watch P2 to cleanse the palate.
  
• Voting for the Haiku of the Group Read will take place with a fabulous grand prize to be awarded to the winner. It has arrived at my house and I may have trouble sending it on to the eventual winner, for I am coveting it...
