Dear Readers -
our chat will take a break this week - but we would like to resume *next Saturday 8/20 11amET* to gather our energy for reading into the fall!
For 8/20, let's all have read through Chapter 45?

Our next Saturday chat 4/30 11am ET will continue discussion of Ch 5 and Ch 6:
Baoyu’s erotic awakening in dreamland and IRL (as it were), and a fuller intro to HLM’s two most colorful characters: Wang Xifeng and Grannie Liu.
Post your reading thoughts and Qs!
