M&D Duck - schedule -

[Mark Kohut]

Becky,

yes, we will make it work.  I hoped for a discussion and voting on a
time consensus from us, if possible.
-- 3-sections at a time, but for one or two weeks each?


For a number of reasons, and you just added another, since to take
sections 10 thru 12 in February means first 3 Hosts would be done
before February at one week apiece.
How about this, y'all? TWO full weeks per small three sections,
allowing lots of posts and responses for those with full life/work
schedules.....?
UNLESS the Host wants/needs only a week? They can determine---real
social democrat here---and announce whenever....then next can move up
or we will have a Bye/Catch-up week??

We, even lurkers, have to not lose reading focus over that amount of
time or entropy sets in. That party house stasis in P's ENTROPY.
Say Something. Call me out for my fanboy 'speculations'. I'll have to
defend myself, THEN the real consensus begins.
My tease: I have an INSIDE story re the book's publication. Act excited!

Don't forget. All of any other discussions can happen on the
wide-ranging Plist at the same virtual time.

So, I am so ready, so full of hot air--another Pynchon trope--that I
can take two weeks at the start and STILL won't be done, MAYBE. The
book is SO RICH (as we know; as many of you have championed.) The
famously infamous Harold Bloom rated it higher than GR (no flaws in M
& D). I rate it 3rd (but was my hardest to read and 'get". Hence this
Read) . Make me change my mind. (joke. who cares about that but me?)

Sign up for a section even if you are too busy. One way of hosting is
to just ask any questions that occur, have occurred, so others jump
in.

So, so far:

Jan 3 (Saturday) thru jan 17    Kohut, Sections 1--3 .....thru p. 29
Jan 18  thru ????                     Kelber      "         4--6.... thru p. 57
                                                    ??          "
  7--9...  thru p. 93
February ???                           Lindroos    "       10-12..  thru p 124
