I think that's more than enough time, but some who may not have a ton of spare time or are slow readers RYAN! may need it.

So I think it's OK.

I think August 31st is great. I just picked up the book yesterday and plan to read on the plane later this week.

I can commit to finishing Chaps 1-5 by August 27th if you want to move the date up and start discussing on Monday.

Sounds good to me- this is a re-read for me.

done.

though, y'all will have to start without me cause I'm sure I'll still be hung over. I even went ahead and took off from work.

^^Oh, I see you have a birthday coming up! How about Tuesday 28th then. We can't start w/o our leader.

skcin · #10 08-22-2007, 01:23 PM

Jazzy, I cannot believe you're putting your birthday before this very important deadline.

OK, I read my assigned chapters last night.

Can I post my thoughts, or should we all wait until the 28th? EDIT: never mind. i just read jazmen's first post.

Rickypt · #13 08-23-2007, 03:27 PM

I just read Chaps 1-6 on the plane. Great book but makes me uncomfortable.

skcin · #14 08-23-2007, 03:54 PM

^ Too real? Or just the fact that it's all about death & the afterlife?

Rickypt · #15 08-23-2007, 04:12 PM

^^Let's wait for the discussion.

Edit: it's a great read, though. I haven't read so many pages nonstop in ages.
