    I'm really looking forward to this, I've been thinking of re-reading for a while and this is a fun way to do it.

    Question: Are we trying to read a certain amount per day, or per week, or what? How is that going to work?

    I'm just wondering, because there are certain days when I can read a lot, and then days like Monday when I doubt I'd have time to read anything at all.
    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    Personal opinion:

    I think we should do like--a chapter a week. That would make it easy for every one involved to at least get that one done.

    I also only have a limited amount of time to listen on a work day

    i was thinking a chapter every 3-4 days, but if you guys want to set a slower pace, that's alright by me. i know that some people thought that was too slow, but i like the idea of having more discussion time before we move on.

    also, to the person that changed the start date in the title...thank you. i was just about to do that, but it was already done.

    I'm sure I'd be able to do a couple of chapters a week sj. I think that'd be a perfect pace to set.

    Count me in, although, I'll probably have to jump in starting on 4th.
    Will and I are temporarily without internet, BellSouth screwed us, so we ditched them...no dsl, not even a phone line (but we both have cells so that's ok)...I called the cable people, but apparently they have to rewire something (don't have cable, have DISH network). So anyway, the only place I have access to the world wide website and this here fancy site is at work.

    Blimey, it's going to take a hundred years to finish it all!




    All righty... where did we put our copy of Gunslinger?

    Jeb? What do you mean "Toilet paper"?

    We'll find it.

    I could if they had them all but they don't. Maybe I'll find a way.

    aw. warm snugglies.

    don't worry about not starting with us. the threads won't close and be merged until we're done with the book, so you have plenty of time to catch up.

    I can't seem to find my copy of The Gunslinger after all the moving I have done since I originally read it. I found DotT though. :\

    I'm going to be reading the Revised Gunslinger when we start because I've never read it before. You can borrow my original Gunslinger if you want.

    I'm totally prepared for this in that I am an English major, and my whole college life is based on the "read X pages of Y story before monday and discuss it" way of reading.

    I can't wait, my kid is bringing back my copies of the first four this weekend.

    I'm kind of considering simply reading them, I can meet the time table I believe.
