My first read along (RAL)

I'm on this thing called Ravelry, it's social networking for the busy fiber artist. As I believe I may have said before, I mostly go on to talk about Battlestar Galactica but today I saw a new group was started for a read along for Democracy in America by that 19th century dreamboat Alexis de Tocqueville. So get ready for lots and lots of posts about this book.

Of course, I'm not exactly sure how a read along works. My guess is my friend will post a comment explaining it to me in 5,4,3,2,1....
