Reading the Chunksters discussion

The start date on the homepage reflects the 26th, while your schedule states the 25th... which is it, because we’re going into a holiday weekend, giving us less than a week to get our books and start reading on top of everything else?

If it is in fact the 25th, is this a reading schedule or a discussion schedule, should we prepare to discuss on the 25th?

When will the threads open, on a specific day, or within that week, randomly?

I think I may echo Brian and Pamela’s posts in the nom thread, did you by any chance see those comments... a June start date might make for a more cohesive discussion, giving some of us time to prepare.

I'm definitely in for this one, really excited about it. I have a physical copy so will be reading that.

Thanks for putting up the schedule Lorna. As I posted in the nominations thread a 1st June start would work better for me, but if the majority want to start on the 25th/26th I should be able to catch up.

Thanks. I am reluctant to reread this one, but since it is only a couple of years since I read the book, I can probably remember enough to chip in a little.

A Fine Balance is one of my favorite books, but I don't know if I will do a reread. It's been a long time since I read it, but I will try to participate either way.

I am participating. I will get my copy this week.

I am excited to be joining this read. The audiobook was available with my scribd subscription, so I decided join. I should be able to keep up if I can multitask. Lately, I have been finding it convenient to put some headphones on with a book playing while I do the dishes at the same time.

It will also be another book that I would have never have known about if it were not for this group. I have loved the book recommendations in the group just as much as I have loved the discussions so far.

I just bought my copy and I'm looking forward to it.

Yes I will give it a go!

Are those page numbers or chapters?

I'm in. I have had a copy for ages so it will be good to finally get to reading it. However, I will now need to dig out of a box which might be quite hunt at this stage given the number of book boxes I have that aren't labelled with much detail! I'll try to keep up but am still way behind on Daniel Deronda which I will also keep chipping away on.

I'll be joining in as I too have had a copy for ages, if 10-15 years can count as ages. I have a lot of other committed-to group reads so may not be joining in until mid-July, but when depends on how many books I choose to juggle at a time.

Yes. I will give it a go. I have an old copy in the bookshelf, but I dont remember ever having read it.

Hello all, it's been a while :-)

I have wanted to read this for a while so I'll be joining in the group read as well.

I'm joining in, as well. This has been on my tbr for awhile, and now that school is out, I will have time! I've heard a lot of great things about this book, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanks Lorna! I’ve wanted to read this for ages, starting today!

I'm just waiting on my book from the library - should only be a couple of days. I'll quickly catch up once I have it don't worry.

I have a copy, so I'm in also.

I strongly considered re-reading this book as I loved it, but I'm not sure I can get to it. I just recently joined in on Daniel Deronda, so I'll still be around and I'll add to the discussion if I can remember enough.
