There's 28 chapters. That's seven months. We've pretty much just got 4.

25 pages is pretty reasonable. If the 25 pages ends in the middle of a chapter or something, we should continue on to the end of that chapter. But we can look at how things go as we get into it.

And everyone must have their book by mid-January? That would give some people who may be hesitant some time to decide and those that have to order the book time too.

My idea: Read a chapter a week by Friday. Then I will top a reading discussion thread that can be posted in Saturday & Sunday.

Yes?
Sounds good. Though as Sara mentioned I guess we can go by pages instead of chapters, so we get through it in time.

I flipped through and 25 pages is an average of 2-3 chapters. I think that's feasible for a week.

I know one person needs to pick up the book at the library but I'll pose the question and see if maybe we can get rolling next week? Start reading the 10th and start the thread for the 15th/16th? How does that sound?

That sounds good to me.

I have to get a new book(the one I got is missing some pages), but I'll get it before the 10th.

Ok, I'll see what kind of responses I get from over there. And I'll make a list of dates/pages. Maybe we could put a master reading outline in the first post of the thread.

Posted this at TO board, it's pretty much stuff we already talked about.

Details thus far:
*Start reading Ch. 1-2 on Monday, January 10.
*Before the weekend, Jenn will top a thread at the John Krasinski board to discuss what's been read.
*Try not to talk too much about what you know will happen later in the story because we do have some first time readers. Predictions are always welcome.
*I have some discussion questions at the end of my book (you may too) that I'll be putting up as well.
*Something I always suggest to students is to read with a post-it to jot down things you want to talk about. Saves time searching the book for talking points. Luckily enough, post-its make great bookmarks as well. Win-win-win.

Participants:
Sara
Jenn
Hannah
Mel
Liz
Hilary
Kush

Added you Hannah!

8 people... that's great!

I'm picking up my book at the library at the end of the week, so I'll definitely be good to go by Monday.
