I can buy "Postcards" from Amazon UK, so will order that when the poll closes seeing as it looks the winner for this month.
I read some online reviews - doesn't look like it's going to be an easy read!!
Oh - and have we decided whether we're going to read the whole thing then start talking....or are we doing it ch. by ch. ?
Ah well...I'm just coming round the bend on 'Shipping News' (I'm in the last chapter) so 'Postcards' doesn't seem too daunting to me just at the moment. I may eat my words, however.
I proposed that we go a quarter of the book each week, Helen. Here's the schedule I proposed:
We should be able to come up with our book by the beginning of next week and then give ourselves the remainder of the week to pick up the book. That would put us in line to discuss the first quarter on the weekend of 6/2, the second quarter on 6/9, the third on 6/16 and the final quarter on the weekend of 6/23.
In 'Postcards' this would mean approximately 77 pages per week. This would put us through chapter 13 in the first week, chapter 27 in the second week, chapter 40 in the third week and chapter 58 (the end) in the last week.
