Gauging interest The Hours group read

In January a number of us expressed interest in a group read of The Hours (in Dan's thread).

I realise we're over halfway through June, so I wondered if anyone is keen for maybe July or August? I would probably prefer August because it will give me time to read Mrs Dalloway though making it July would give me the impetus to read Mrs Dalloway!

If you're interested, let me know which month you'd prefer. Majority will win and then I'll go ahead and set up a separate thread.

I'm still interested! Both July and August are fine for me.

>1 rhian_of_oz: thank you!! July >> August for me, because of the Booker longlist.

I'm still interested and happy with either month

I also prefer August. I'm listening to Mrs. Dalloway on audio right now. My plan is to read Mrs. Dalloway in print on my plane ride the 1st weekend in Juy, and then be prepped for The hours. I've seen the movie, but not read the book.

>5 markon: how about late July?

>6 dchaikin: That would work.

I’ll join the conversation. I’ve read it two or three times so I might not actually reread it

>1 rhian_of_oz: >2 Dilara86: >4 wandering_star: >5 markon: >8 Nickelini:

How is this plan? Call it plan A.
- Begin reading July 18 (a Saturday)
- read half by Friday, July 24 (I don't yet know what half is. But the book is 239 pages)
- finish by Friday, July 31

Alternate, plan B
- begin when you like
- finish by July 31
- (slower readers maybe begin ~July 18. Faster readers begin closer to July 31. Average speed readers should plan on about 6 hours of reading)

Looking forward to this group read. I have a slight preference for plan B, but either is fine, really.

>10 Dilara86: ditto

I will most likely follow plan B.
