I am likely to be moving, and distracted by associated chores, but I will try to look in from time to time. I have started posting some background material I originally composed for an older discussion.
I may not reread (after about twenty times through the book, I’m reaching a point of diminishing returns) but will definitely join in the discussion.
I will definitely participate.
I will be in the middle of a move, but I will try to participate. It's one of my all-time favourite books and I have read it many times.

I do love Persuasion and I think I can handle the reading schedule.

I will join too. A first time reading Persuasion so really excited to see where the discussion goes.

I haven't read this for many years, so I'll be happy to crack open my Folio copy and participate!
I just reread Persuasion a few years ago but enjoyed it so much I'm going to join this read too.
May 12-18: Vol 1, Chapters 1-8
May 19-25: Vol 1, Ch 9-Vol. 2, Ch 2
May 26-June 1: Vol 2, Ch 3-8
June 2-8: Vol 2, Ch 9-the end.
This works out to about 60 pages/week in my small hardback version.
Please let us know if you will be joining us for the read, and whether it will be your first time reading or a re-read for you. I look forward to the discussion!
