I'm starting at the start with the Foreigner series too, in between other things. I joined the readingtogether comm because someone was organising a read-through of the first book and hosting twice-weekly discussion posts on her journal; that was a lot of fun, though difficult to time things so that I'd read the right chapters, no more or less, when the discussion post came around. Would you be interested in group reads through the rest of the series? I think the others who participated might like to carry on, if I ask them.
