CoL49 Group Reading

[Joseph Tracy]

Below  is the schedule that JK Van Nort laid out after the vote was 7 to 2 in favor of 10 pages a week
In It Mark K hosts the first part of ch 2 and David Morris the 2nd half of Ch 2 

So apparently there was some confusion on this point, but I think we need to return to this schedule and focus on the 2nd half of ch 2 for this week. Otherwise any of the next  hosts who did any preparation will be off by10 pages. This is not personal but just a matter of  keeping to the plan so everyone is clear on their part and on where we are in the course of the novel.

I will provide a summary and additional discussion questions by Sunday, 28apr. We will have discussion continue through 04may (May the Fourth be with you). I repeated the order of the first round of hosts for the rest of the time.

I don’t have any real protocols except to maintain respectful posts and minimize/prevent any spoilers. Hosts should post summary and discussion questions by Sunday so that the group can be prepared for comments/discussion. Hosts can also identify the paragraph where they ended their section, so that pages and reading matches across both editions.
