A Tale For The Time Being is available online if you look hard enough

I know some of us are college student whose finances may not be as agreeable to buying a buncha books

Haha I didn't know how to address this and whether or not it was frowned upon. I have the ebook for the Book of the Month and am not sure whether or not we can distribute it on here or not

No you can but if you're on a budget it's available online if you look but enough about that

Read the first 40 pages or so this morning and really feeling the style.

Love conversational tone for books feels so much easier to get involved

Awesome.

I'm looking at the iBooks version of the book and it says the story contains 752 pages.

I was thinking we can make the "Halfway Point" on p. 384 (This should be under Part 2 of the book, Nao's 5th chapter)

I just checked the calendar and saw that the 17th is exactly 2 weeks away. We can make the discussion on June 17th or 18th.

All this sound cool to you guys?

the great thing about this is all the other nominations that don't win will still turn some heads. I still plan on reading Pedagogy of the Oppressed and the Love Affairs novel

Does it?

Apologies, I'll try to just refer to chapters instead. We'll still go with Nao's 5th chapter under part 2 of the book if that's all well and good with you guys.

Might get a late start on the book, plan on picking it up at my local bookstore en route to my interview this Friday. Horrible timing to cancel my prime account too :x

This might be a silly question, but are you guys reading ebooks or print?
