So I was thinking that it's kind of hard to really discuss the book until everyone (who wants to) has read the book...it was suggested that we come up with a "deadline" for reading the book before we begin discussing it...what do you think????
So as we look forward to reading Jane Austen's "Persuasion" should we come up with a date to have finished reading the book and begin the discussion? Would July 20th work?
Let me know your thoughts and ideas, so we can work out "The Virtual Literary Society" to be a wonderful society! :)
And then maybe to keep things from "dragging" on, we could agree that we will open the discussion for a week, and then move on. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should give a deadline for those who are still reading Water for Elephants? Like we're starting Persuasion this weekend folks! Finish up Water for Elephants by then! :)
ReplyDeleteI think we can have some discussions as we read - as long as there are no spoilers...or label them like you did with chapters, so people who haven't read that far do not have to read those posts - unless they want to see the spoils! I think two weeks per book works, but not everyone reads like a crazy lady like I do...Maybe give three weeks so we don't drag on and on, but that's a little longer to help those who can't sit and read an entire book?
Actually I just read your week of discussions post. I like it. Two weeks for reading, one week for discussion. That one week is like a buffer and people still reading can keep reading and catch up at the end of the week. Let's just do it! Persuasion starts this Saturday??
