[lbo-talk] how did you become a lefty

[Wojtek S]

Shag: "this is so cool! thanks all for responding. we should put a book
together about how we got to be lefties. is there any such book like that?
not academic research per se, but something more popular. :

[WS:] Good idea.  I think there might be interest.  However, for such an
effort to work, somebody would need to take on the responsibility of being
the editor(s) - to design the format, find contributors and whip them to
deliver what they promised, contact the publisher etc.  Any volunteers?

One way to organize the theme of such a volume may be similar to that in the
film "Magnolia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnolia_%28film%29 which
starts as several seemingly separate and incoherent sub-plots that slowly
coalesce together as the story develop.
