9. Do I have to show up for the voice chats?

No.

It really helps if you do, though. It's much easier to get people talking when they're in a room together.

10. What if I'm an atheist?

If you're asking whether we're disallowing atheists or something like that, we're not.

11. How long will I have to read each book?

Two months, usually.

If anybody else wants to sign up, now is the time. We start "the two month clock" tomorrow.
