<div dir="ltr">It may or may not be a good way to start a book group, but I don't understand why the library would intervene. Here is my original response that I only sent to Meg: I would honor the request. It's kind of like someone writing in the
book, but in this case, they didn't deface the property. She is opting
out of confidentiality. I think it's a cool idea. The next person can
