Title: The Slog of All Slogs, A Real Chopper!
Post by: MSJ on April 02, 2018, 06:53:28 pm
I want to do a reread of the entire series. Find the hidden nuggets. See, if clues of Ajokli are there, and so on.

I don't want this to be something we fly through. Whoever is interested, we will discuss how much we read and discuss per week. I'd like it to be little enough that it not make it impossible to read other works. Say......1-3 chapters a week.

I'm sure Madshire would like all discussion to be in the almanac. I think thats the right way any how. So, how many would be interested, and committed to seeing it through? Let me know and we'll discuss a start date. I think alot of people could participate. In talking taking this slow, so the amount of reading isnt a problem. We have no deadlines for any upcoming book, so we can go at a slow sustained pace and everyone participate. Who knows what we might uncover? Hmmm?

[EDIT Madness: Fixed the title.]

I'm interested. I'd suggest an extremely slow pace, perhaps one chapter per week. Also, how about one week of reading followed by one week of discussion?

Love the title, "The Slog Of All Slogs"!

How many and please the more the merrier this'll be. So, Sunday, starts a new chapter and Sunday we'll start with TDTCB Prologue and Chapter 1. Cool?

Sounds good, O Captain, My Captain!  We'll launch on April 8th by reading Prologue + Chapter One of TDTCB.

I'm actually excited about this Slog! This might reawaken my enthusiasm for the series. The pace is perfect, thanks, MSJ.

I've been meaning to reread TAE straight through so I might hop on then. If enough people get into it from the beginning though I might not be able to abstain. I love PoN too much.

You should join the Big Slog, Bolivar. Nice leisurely pace, one chapter per week. I'm going to try to read it with fresh eyes.

A chapter a week?  I can manage that pace.

We'll start on Sunday, on Sunday, I or whoever gets there first can make a thread in the corresponding Almanac. Lets go with a Acronym as to not confuse the first Slog of Slogs. Say.....TSoaS: TDTCB Prolouge & Chapter 1. (TSoaS= The Slog of all Slogs).

Now, this will go in the PoN Almanac. Next Sunday, TSoaS: TDTCB Chapter 2 and so on. Make the thread every Sunday, read and discuss at your leisure. I just say wait til Sunday, as its a good start for each Chapter, as we're doing it weekly. Also, give a few more days for others to see and want to join in, the more the merrier. We have about 10 so far I'd say.

How about ARC: TDTCB Insert Chapters Here?

MSJ is right, it's garbage to modify on a smartphone. ARC was for A Real Chopper. Smallest acronym wins.

Cool.

And others, remember you have a whole week to hop in on each chapter. It doesnt have to be done on Sunday.  So, if you haven't read it yet, don't fret, only Tuesday.

Real Quick, because I noticed this morning, I left out acronym for the book in thread title. So, goes like this.

ARC: TDTCB Chapter 2

Boom! Easy peasy.


Note: anyone please, can start the thread on Sunday. I start it if it isn't, of a evening. But feel free.
