Two nominations were tied so looks like its between gone with the wind and the dark room. dark room is allegedly quite short so could read one after the other if wanted.....let the people who will be joining me decide...

Got a copy of gone with the wind lined up and will sort discussion pages out for in a couple of weeks so we can all have a breather and get copies of either or both....and then start all over again *sigh* |

Have we got any suggestions of when we are going to start the next readalong? Also are we going to break it down to one chapter a week as we did with Wild Swans?

I'm thinking 2-3 chapters a week as one a week may get a little hard to follow from what I know of this book.....what do you guys think?
2 chapters a week sound okay? Or do we want 3? don't think they're very long which is why i suggest it.....

From what I remember the chapters are fairly short, so I say go with 3 a week...

The chapters do seem quite short and 3 a week will give us a better grip of the story in each sitting I think.
