Nela’s comments from the One Does Not Simply Walk Into Your Pants group.

This is the beginning of the discussion of William Shakespeare's Measure for Measure

Are you done with reading chapters one through ten! Please discuss! :)
I'll share some of my comments tomorrow since I have a crazy morning tomorrow, but for now let me just say, I love how this one passage in chapter three describes Emma as a person: "She was so busy admiring those soft blue eyes, in talking and listening, and forming all these schemes in the in-betweens, that the evening flew away at a very unusual rate (...)". I think the "schemes in the in-betweens" is such an accurate portrayal of what Emma's actions are centered around and when I read this sentence I thought that this is a gem of precise description.

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to structure our group reading at least a little bit, but I'm not sure what reading pace would be comfortable for you guys. Would you be okay with reading 10 chapters a week? Emma has 55 chapters in total. Let me know what you think!

Start from the title and watch the story unfold spontaneously. Quite an experiment.
