I'd be happy to be a discussion leader.

[senkig]

Thanks! Have you read the book before? And would you prefer to be the open/finished discussion leader or the Lost discussion leader?

[bookwormrach]

I haven't, unfortunately! :/ I don't really have a preference-whatever works best for others is fine for me.

Oh, man, thank you for the online version! I lent my copy to a hippie kid in my class and doubt I'll ever see it again. :/

This is going to be excellent.

Am I the only one who didn't like this book? I'm ok with the decision to read it first, I was just wondering. After the first few chapters it bored me to tears. :/

You're not alone. I liked the first few chapters but I seriously had to force myself to read it. i started it last May, read the first 4 or so chapters and didn't finish it until December.

[ada_bug]

Same here! I got about a third of the way in within a few days, but then I stopped and couldn't make myself finish the damned thing for at least another month or so. I thought it was terrible. And predictable to boot.

I was going to start reading Brave New World, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it after reading this tbh :(

Yay! I think three weeks is a good enough amount of time.

I assumed it would be the winner as well and picked it up at the library today. Three weeks sounds good to me. My theatre schedule is going to be hectic soon, so I could use the extra time.
