....I'll dip in when life allows....don't think I'm being stand-offish....
I definitely prefer one story at a time.
My book is currently “in transit” so I may miss the first story. I’ll plan to join in once I get it.

Okay, sounds good. Let’s discuss “Dolan’s Cadillac” on.... Friday night? Say, 7:30p (Central)? That will give me some time before work. 
I'm down with N&D--haven't read that one in a very long time! I'll be surprised if I remember half of the stories.
Sounds ok to me but maybe we should go lower at first and see what everyone thinks about the pace. I don't have the book in front of me now but if I remember correctly, Dolan's is first and is long.
The beauty of doing this with a short story collection is that if even if someone doesn't finish them all, they can still discuss the stories they read.

What about taking a full week for reading one story- Dolan's. Monday through Sunday. The following Monday begins open discussion of that story. As stated above some are fast readers, other slow. Some work days/ night/ 2 jobs/ commitments to organizations- groups. Others have family obligations. Just some thoughts on time lines. Can always be adjusted per story.
I participated in a couple of the discussions from a couple years ago. They were great fun! I've been watching that old TNT series Nightmares and Dreamscapes and I've been wanting to read the stories If I read them in the past, I've pretty much forgotten them so N&D story discussions sound terrific

Sorry spidey.... Wasn't even aware that i had answered your post. On other subject. N&D is fine. When? Is it still Friday? or Monday? or when? 7.30 central might be a problem if in the middle of a week. Thats probably 1.30 or 2.30 AM for me. I'll join when i can but might be asleep especially in a middle of the week day. I am a nightowl so friday might work better for me.
Since we are doing this, I think I may buy the kindle version. I have the hardcover but the kindle version sounds more appealing than holding and reading the 75 pound hardcover again. 
It was a just a suggestion. Will this be an open discussion, via a thread? If so, comments and posting could be done any time the member has time to post on the MB. Not exactly sure what the parameters will be.
Since you are hosting AB, make the official announcements of which story needs read, when it needs read by and when the discussion starts on it. I'm going to try to participate also.
