Suggestion: discussing the book chapter by chapter

Postby Broccoli » Friday 15 July 2005 9:33:40am

Do you think it's a good idea to have separate topics for each chapter of the new book, so that even if people haven't finished the whole book they can express their thoughts on the things they already know? We could also see it as a collective reading!

great idea! I had been a bit concerned about that...if I'm only on ch.3 I might be tempted to come in here to see what others are saying and they may be at ch. 10 and already know something I don't know yet...so I'm all for the splitting the discussion up by chapter at least until a bit of time has lapsed.

Personally, I think that's a bit too fastidius. I think we should just play the forum by ear

I don't think that we should keep all the discussions in the chapter-threads only, but for those of us who are afraid to be spoiled but still want to discuss things these threads could be a nice addition.

Personally I think it's a good idea that would draw out some details that get neglected in the general book discussions.

well, i think it would be difficult to do that, as we would probably be referring to other chapters as well, and somepeople may not have read further and it may get out of hand... so i dont think it would work.

I think that would be a good idea, i have finished the book but I know that if I hadn't I would not want to come on here and have the whole thing spoiled for me. I too do not have my book, my sister took it to camp with her, but it is still a good idea.
