Yes, that is a lot of reading, including some particularly long books. I'm hoping that having this list out ahead of time will aid all of us in 1) getting our books ahead of time, 2) deciding what dates and what amount of reading fit into our schedules, and 3) potentially picking which books we want to make a priority over others. This is my foray into what an organized person's life must be like, so we'll see if it serves us well in our book group. My apologies if it doesn't. :)
No, none of this is set in stone. More like...dried-out modeling clay. I'm hoping things won't change too much. The dates probably won't change a whole lot but that will just be up to the person hosting. A Wednesday could possibly get changed to a Thursday or the meeting get pushed back a week but again, not too much I don't think. Some of the books in the latter part of the year may get pushed back a bit if we fall behind, but generally we shouldn't have to compete with the holiday season unless we decide we want to read something seasonal at that time.
Yes, Rough Stone Rolling and Les Mis are beasts! And Look Homeward Angel is pretty long too. And I know not everyone is interested in reading these. But for those who are interested, the idea is that now you have your advanced notice and can get started at least a few months in advance.
Oh, and thanks to Amazon for some assistance with the book descriptions. Don't know how I'd know what books were out there without that website!
