Good questions! Don't have an e reader so guess I'd best hit amazon.
Would like to state for the record now - if any of the books have subtle 'undercurrents', hidden meanings or metaphors commenting on life, I won't spot them.

Everyone reads first, to stop spoilers I suppose. When everyone's read or the last week in the month we start talking bollox?
Or everyone could send me a review. I publish on a certain day?
The nominator could come up with a set of questions we have to answer?
Any other ideas?

Only £2.50 on kindle. Bargain basement.
Read page 1 so far.
First impressions were that the juxtaposition of the allegorical Platonic elements of rhetoric were aligned contemporaneously with the almost Sophistic dialectical prose, and perfectly enunciated the essential mephistophical conflict between the protagonist and their bête noir.
Nice tits as well.

I didn't actually pay for it.
I will start reading it after I've finished the Lee Child's book I'm reading.

Now up to page 78, tempted to skip to the final chapter to see if there's any point in reading the bits in the middle

The concept is good, but in my opinion the execution is not. I'll leave any further comments until the discussion starts and will chip in with my own at the time, if I notice the chat and remember the reasons for dropping it a quarter of the way through.Surprised wrote:Is it really that bad?Vid wrote:Now through 140 pages, had enough.

I bought it (mostly for Mrs m) a couple of weeks back - needed a second book for a 2 for £7 from Tesco (with the JK Rowling pseudononymous book).WilBert wrote:Everyone reads first, to stop spoilers I suppose. When everyone's read or the last week in the month we start talking bollox?
Or everyone could send me a review. I publish on a certain day?
The nominator could come up with a set of questions we have to answer?
Any other ideas?
Suggestion - all comments start with how far you are in the book e.g. "Chapter 5" and you 'hide' any plot spoilers in a tiny font size - doesn't work on Tapatalk but tough!

Sounded like a 'chick-lit groundhog day' to me I may give it a go after finishing my current book.
