Anyone have any interest in starting a group read?

I was hoping that maybe some of you guys might be interested in a group read.

I would, maybe then I'll actually get through these books.

YAYAYAYAYAY!!!! I know Terisa is a bit hard to take in the beginning but she gets better, I promise.

Er, do you mean a Cameraman Jenn Special Edition Dissection of MN?

Cuz we just finished a group read of MN a couple of years ago - at some considerable effort, too, since there were relatively few of us doing it. It was a minor miracle that we all managed to complete the project at all. (I didn't even join in til the 2nd book; I think early on, it was just MsMary, danlo, Duchess and a few others keeping the whole thing alive.)

Well, that could be arranged, the special edition dissection thingy. I just thought it might be fun to get some fresh blood going.

Sure, I'm game.

Let me clarify - I'm for starting a group read, not a formal dissection. I'm gonna have my hands full when FR dissection starts in 2008.

That's what I meant. Just a group read. With discussion.

Well, if not enough people are interested we could do something crazy....like an FBH style paraphrasing of the books....

It wouldn't be serious literary discussion but it would be funny and might inspire some people to read the books.

Sort of an odd Cliff's notes?

Hmmm, could be interesting. Coincidentally, I just started re-reading MN a couple of days ago

Haha, dunno if I'll take part, what with FR coming up and the Gap read too, and the ongoing Dune read on top of that. As MM said, there's Casting The Augury already.

But I don't mind dropping in and making fun of y'all while you do it...

Well, with all the other watch events happening, perhaps we should leave MN alone for a while. I know I promised Lucimay I would participate in the Gap read. That reminds me, I need to go dig my paperbacks out of storage.

Then, just let me know when you're ready to start.

Post by **Cameraman Jenn** » Sat Aug 04, 2007 12:53 am

How about Monday?

Post by **Damelon** » Sat Aug 04, 2007 1:16 am

That's a definite maybe.

Post by **Damelon** » Sat Aug 04, 2007 11:54 am

Well, Jenn, I can start Monday only if we start in the middle.

I found A Man Rides Through but not The Mirror of Her Dreams

I've never done one of these things, but I'd love to read along and discuss, as long as I could do it relatively casually. My schedule's getting really tight, and I wouldn't have time for in-depth dissections or anything like that.

Post by **Cameraman Jenn** » Sat Aug 04, 2007 8:13 pm

I wanted it to be informal.
