Shall we estimate starting our discussion December 1? Is that too soon? |
|||
|
|

Little Women sounds good! I already have the book, so Dec. 1 works for me, if everyone else can get a copy soon enough. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Actually, they all sounded good, and I had a difficult time deciding. I thought LW is easier to read during this hectic holiday season. Thanks for leading this vote, Vanessa! Dec 1st is fine w/ me to begin our discussion. Now I must access the book :) |

I just ordered the book through PBS. While I was at it I also ended up ordering some of the others on the list - so I'm ready! Your discussion the other day inspired me to go through and find my copy of The Christmas Carol.LOL I started it already and am about half way through. I'm enjoying it, but still have a soft spot for the old movie version. |
|||

I've already got the book, too. It's been 15 years or so since I read it, so I'm looking to reading it again. Will there be a schedule to show how much we need to read by a certain point for the discussion? |
|||
|

Little Women will be a nice book to read in the Christmas season. December 1 sounds like a good time to start. I'm looking forward to it! :-) |
|||

I have a copy already too so Dec 1 is great for me too :) looking forward to it!! |
|||
|
|

|
I have my copy-will start it next week in anticipation of the Dec. 1 discussion! |
|||
|
|
|||
|
So how far do we read by Dec. 1? I don't want to read beyond that because the discussion shouldn't go further into the book than what everyone has read. Since this is my first time in this group, I'll probably have a few questions about how it works before we even get started. Thanks for any help you can give me. |

There's 47 chapters, so it's easiest to split it up in 3 sections. Lets go through chapter 15 for December 1. We can sort out the other two dates later on. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
The book is actually in two parts. The second part begins 4 years later. Did you want to divide it up, with two discussions from the first half and two discussions from the second half?

I was wondering the same. We might want breaks that fit the story, even if the sections aren't equal. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
Sure, I haven't gotten my copy yet, I just saw that it was 47 chapters. So what would be a good chapter to read to for Dec 1? How long are the two parts? |
|||
|

I missed voting! Doh! I've been on the hot seat at work (new job) with training and testing. But I would have voted for Little Women and Black Tulip.
I'm ordering my copy now! |
