Reddit to Group Read Gravity's Rainbow

[Bekah]

And I think I'll do a really quick read of the whole thing  (3 days?)  to get the spoilers out of the way for myself but be very careful not to post big spoilers for a week or so - or until I see other folks coming up for air.  (heh)

I'd say an informal survey read the remaining month of September (with spoilers be damned - pretty much what you said, Antonin) and a ore careful reading going from  October through December (approx.  25 pages per week -  but who knows where that would break… bleeding all over the place.)   This is what would likely happen anyway - (heh).

They always have limped to finish, loosing most participants along the way.  But we've always taken them at a snails pace, GR takes about a year @ P-list speed.  So it's no wonder they finish weak.

Every group read I've been part of has either disintegrated or been rather more than a little pointless, usually eventually, sometimes at the outset. I'm betting the latter, here.
