So [personal profile] blnchflr has her book! Does everybody else have a copy? When can we start? Do we want to "meet" and discuss twice a week, or once, or what?

I am so exci~ited! *singsong voice*

Foreigner! I am excited! (Even though I have the hardest time typing that title.)

Playing around on GoodReads has clearly done something to my book-appetite; I have knocked two novels off my To Be Read pile in the last week, one of which I liked very much. In fact, I liked it enough that the only surprising part of the About The Author list of authors she admires was how many of them I overlapped on -- practically all of them. :D I definitely wasn't surprised to find Patricia McKillip on her list; several times in my reading I thought that the prose reminded me of McKillip's writing. (So much so I had to go to GoodReads and create a "beautiful prose" tag!)

Now I suppose I should start working on reviews at GoodReads, or else on establishing some rough "finished on" dates for things I read way back in the day...

From the responses so far, it looks like most would prefer to do the read-along here, which is fine by me!

[personal profile] cheyinka suggested, and I'm in favour of, making the first two sections our first reading section, and then reading three chapters per week. I'll take a look at my copy and see what that works out to, both in terms of time and in terms of spacing, and we can tweak that if needed.

I was tentatively thinking we could start at the end of 3W4DW -- would that be too soon? (Probably? I don't even know what day it is, argh. Must teach self to look at calendars more often than once a month-and-half...) Since it's just a few people, so far at least, we are probably pretty flexible in terms of start date; if you have some Big Important Thing you'd like to get through before we start, just say so and we'll see if it's workable.

(Relatedly: feel free to invite others to join us, if you have any scifi- or Foreigner-fans on your flists!)

Note to self: acquire Foreigner icon!

From the responses so far, it looks like most would prefer to do the read-along on my personal journal rather than a comm, which is fine by me!

(Some suggested logistical details)
