Hey Everyone!
I'm really excited to begin our readings! Here is the schedule for a suggested reading timeline. Of course, you don't have to follow it and may read at your own pace. This is just so everyone knows when there will be discussion posts. We'll have a week and a half for Life of Pi and three weeks for The Help. This means, we'll be averaging 30 pages a day if you want to follow the schedule.

30 pgs / day

Jan16: Final discussion of The Help
You may go as fast or as paced as you'd like. The discussion posts will be posted on Dec 23, 27, 28, 30, and Jan 6, 15, and 16. This will keep people in the know of the future spoiler alerts in case anyone wants to take it a littler slower.
How Discussions Will Take Place
On the discussion days, I will post a question or a thought about the book and everyone can answer my response or contribute their own thoughts. This blog is meant to be a place that people can say what they got from the literature. Literature is beautiful because it is so interpretive. No one will have the same reading. This element of literature is what will make these discussions so interesting. I look forward to all of your thoughts.
