Then it is an interesting contrast to look at his personality 15 years later in "The Last of the Mohicans", or 17 years later in his one and only love affair in "The Pathfinder". He changes radically as a person as the books progress. This would also give us a chance to meet Chingachgook and Hist O Hist before Uncas was born.

: : Dana

: That order sounds great to me! I'll be ready to start anytime -- after a trip to Barnes & Noble, that is!

Jenifer,

Just let us know as soon as you have the book. Actually, your local library might be quicker until the ordered book gets to you.

So how are we going to organize this literary marathon? On the Board as a thread - in a Chat Room - by chapters - general impressions and discussion - leading questions - ????
