Erratum:

- The pagination varies, as there have been some 700 separate editions of this novel. As such, it is difficult to know what a reasonable pace should be. We will learn more as we go, and if necessary I will adjust the schedule, so please don't be shy if things are moving too slowly or too quickly.
- I am, for now, electing to stick with 3 weeks on/1 week off. Feedback on that is welcome.
- I am also electing to stick with a reasonable weekly reading schedule, which means that, for now, most books will be scheduled as bi-monthly reads, or more as selection length requires.

Let us know which edition you have chosen! The reading schedule will be posted and the calendar updated shortly.

Have you picked a kindle edition for yourself

Yep! I looked at a bunch, and went with this one:

Thanks Brian,

While there are plenty of Robinson Crusoe's to pick from, I personally like the idea of being "on the same page"! And at $4.75 for the Kindle edition, I can afford it.

There is even a way to share highlights, but I have no idea what that way is !!

I agree with you! Much easier to reference specific passages.

Thanks for the schedule, Brian! I like having a 3 week on/1 week off schedule... I often read several books at the same time and it gives me a chance to catch up when I've been sidetracked. I'll probably download a Guttenberg edition if the have one!

You're welcome Tina, and thanks for the feedback! If you're using the calendar, I linked to a free copy of an early edition there. Here's a link for convenience:

There is definitely a free Gutenberg version as well.
