Classic book club/readalong: Emma

[charlatti]

I dropped the ball on this and didn't get things organized by the beginning of October as planned -- my apologies! My copy has three volumes, with 18 chapters in VI and VII and 19 chapters in VIII. If we go for six weeks, we can divide as follows:

Week 1, Oct. 10: VI, chapters 1-9
Week 2, Oct. 17: VI, chapters 10-18
Week 3, Oct. 24: VII, chapters 1-9
Week 4, Oct. 31: VII, chapters 10-18
Week 5, Nov. 7: VIII, chapters 1-9
Week 6, Nov. 14: VIII, chapters 10-19

That's a bit more than 50 pages each week. Does that seem reasonable?

I'll post a check-in on Wednesdays, maybe with discussion questions if I can come up with any. Anyone can chime in whenever, not necessarily on Wednesdays, and add ideas and questions too. And if you know of people who doesn't frequent this board but might want to play, please invite them!

Yay! Looking forward to this!

Sounds great! Thanks for getting it mapped out :-)

I'm going to try to make this happen. What I can guarantee I will make happen is that I will update the book club info in the sticky

[lemondrop]

thanks char for organizing this and pink for updating the sticky!

My only suggestion is that we change the discussion set for Oct 31 to the 1st. The 30th would work OK, but it's my birthday.

I thought about changing for Halloween, but I'm hopeful the weekly posts will not be limited to just the one day -- I'll start a post Wednesdays, but people will reply on W, Th, F, whenever. But maybe we can see how it's going and bump it if necessary when we're closer to it.

Sounds good to me. I'm starting it tonight!

[DarcyLongfellow]

I just posted a link to this post on the MM board. Hopefully we'll have a lot of people join in!

I'm in for sure!

Sounds great! Between reading Columbine and starting Dracula I need some Emma in my life.
