  1. Is RSVPing required? Some of those who are interested in attending are not on Facebook, but would gladly shoot an RSVP email to someone.

  2. I wonder if any of the excerpts break the rule I’ve noticed in the media of never quoting or referencing anything outside the first hundred pages of In Search of Lost Time.
