The Book Club - Page 6

Shall we Skype before the next entry?

Here's what I've mocked up for October:


Starting can obviously begin at any time because I know we all have different lives and schedules and means of getting the book. Think we'll go up to the end of Ch. 11. and make the week 2 checkpoint there. In the edition I've got that's about 180/360. If you read ahead or don't read far enough, just note what you've read up to before commenting.

We could also just Skype sometime next week. What I garnered from earlier posts and who's finished the book is
Me: GMT 1500-0700, M,W,F all day
Celes: GMT 2000-whenever, M&Tu all day
Mouldy: Satudays good, No Sunday or Monday
Matty : ???

OOkay! So I kind of got a little carried away today and read all the way through chapter 9 and now I only have 30 or so pages left until the end of the section.

POOP!

Also, this book is awesome. I can't believe I hadn't read it before.

quote Mouldy Cheese

Joseph Anton, A Memoir - Salman Rushdie (I read the blurb and thought it just sounded fascinating)

quote Celes Leonhart

Stephen King - The Gunslinger
Anthony Burgess - A Clockwork Orange
Joseph Heller - Catch 22

quote

Stephen King - On Writing
Lev Grossman - The Magicians

We can start planning November and shoot the crap about Ender's at the same time. I think the Magicians looks really really potent and I want to get it in eventually.

I don't think I can take part for November...I'm doing NaNoWriMo so all of my reading time has suddenly be replace by writing (lol my phone corrected "writing" to "wiping") time :s I'll pick up the book and try and read but don't expect to see too much of me!

I might not participate this month Golden Miru Warrior and Celes Leonhart. I have just a tad too much going on with work and NaNo (erkkk) and have very limited time for a relaxing read. Can I suggest we read Stephen King in December? I've always heard so much about his work but have never actually read one before (I know, it's shocking).

I'll post a summary on Ender's Game in a couple of days once I get home (provided our internet is working again by that stage...)

Very happy to wait. Sorry about the lack of steam this month. Entries I'm both excited for.

Keen for reading stephen king next month! I've been reading my usual fantasy whenever I get a free moment and I stumbled upon a copy of "Speaker for the dead" the other day. Definitely going to give that a go thanks to last month's book. And I believe I can borrow Casual Vacancy for January! I quite missed doing book club this month and chatting with you guys. But hey! I've almost finished NaNoWriMo (3 days left and 2k to go!!!)

Are we still all on track for next month? ^^
