Rob, Marianne, and I had so much fun with the Turvey (2019) reading group that we decided to keep going, and we decided to return to the source - Gibson's 1979 book. Buckle up, this should be fun!
We'll be using the 2014 edition, so all page numbers will refer to that (I have the feeling I will be directly quoting the eminently quotable Gibson a lot more than I did with Turvey!). I will use this page to link to my post, and the video and podcast links for our group discussions, for each chapter.
