However, also by then, I will almost certainly be in Kwajalein. At least they have internets there.

Also, anyone want to join? You have a whole month to read the book!

We might be reading this book for a long time. And it's no fun to meet for book club without more than half of the active members. Being that I'm out of town the week after next, and Sexretary is doing shows / rehearsals until Nov 27 or so, we could just say to plan on finishing at our own pace, and maybe meeting again on Nov 29th (Monday after Thanksgiving). That's 4 weeks to read ~630 pages, or ~400 if you're already caught up. I can post whatever discussion points I have on here, and we can discuss in the meantime. Let me know if anybody else has a suggestion. Or if folks want to do something else on Monday (other than binge on Halloween candy). kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) The Good Books Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:46:34 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1152 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1143 Nah, but Libby and I might skip this meeting.

Or just press on. I wouldn't want to spoil anything for anyone, and with this book it would be easy to do so.

The reading goes by pretty quickly. It's no Faulkner. I think in all it took me about 4 hours to complete. And as it has been previously established: I am a slow reader. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) The Good Books Wed, 27 Oct 2010 16:38:58 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1123 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1119 Yeah, no way I'll be done with the allotted amount of pages by then. Or Libby for that matter, since she hasn't even purchased the book yet, I don't think. Scrotor@idkfa.com (Scrotor) The Good Books Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:27:38 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1119 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1111 Certainly liking the ideas in the story. Probably about 50 pages until I'm done with the first part. Could probably use a nap, though. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) The Good Books Tue, 26 Oct 2010 19:06:13 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1111 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1110 At the end of Part 1. It is pretty exciting so far, in a non packing foam kind of way. Huginn and Muninn are my favorite.

Happy reading. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) The Good Books Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:37:13 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1073 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1064 For this round, we're reading American Gods. We plan to split the book into three parts, as it would appear to be more on the side of 600 pages than 480. I'll pick up the book tomorrow and pick a good chapter boundary. Expect to read about a third of the book in two week's time, planning on having the next meeting on November 1st, location as of yet undetermined. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) The Good Books Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:37:53 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1064&msg_id=1064
