The Knife of Never Letting Go
I'm good with either dates!!I prefer x chapters a day + discussion of those.. But if you guys prefer the other option, it's okay :)

That's the one I prefer as well.
There are 42 chapters. We could do six a day and be done in a week, or eight and be done in 5 days (with 2 extra that last day). Or something else?
I am super flexible! I had already started it when I read your post but I will jump in when you reach where I am at!
I like x chapter a day too and I don't have a preference.
Six a day will suit me best, if that's okay :)
Sounds good :)Waiting to hear from Becca on a start date then, and I think we are good to go.
I am really excited. I have been wanting to read this series forever.
Will you guys be up for the other two after?
Me too! I have read the 0.5 book and I thought it was so intriguing! I'm up for the rest of the series :)
Yes I would love to read the 2 following. I need a decent warning. I usually request books from my library and I don't always get them right away. But I would absolutely love too!
Sunday would be better because I work all day sat and I like 6 a day

I am so excited. :D
Ok! I will get go request them now!
Omg this is my favorite dystopian series ever!!!! Enjoy everyone :)
Thanks David! I started is as you know but I am going to slow up so I can be able to gush and talk about it along the way!
Hehe you're welcome ;) Gush and talk all you want, I'll sit back and enjoy watching you fall in love with this series too!
Mod
David, I think you would like
...Leigh and I read it a couple of weeks ago and it seems like it would be up your ally - we both gave it 5 stars :)
Awesome, thanks for the rec Sheri! I'll check it out, I'm always in search of another great book :)
Well so far so good! I obviously am not going to say anything about it but I am already liking it. Can't wait for everyone to read it and see what they think!
I cannot wait for Sunday..I also need to request from my library.. Hopefully they have it. Even though it is the main library of Denmark they are a bit behind on books :p

Just got the book! Really excited to start it tomorrow! :)

Okay, the writing style is annoying me. I need to get used to it.
Sannie wrote: "Okay, the writing style is annoying me. I need to get used to it."The writing is annoying but you get used to it and it has to be this way to fit.
Yeah I had the same problem when I was starting it. I got used to it semi quickly. Can't wait to see how it ties the book together.
Sannie wrote: "Okay, the writing style is annoying me. I need to get used to it."Try to keep an open mind! Things that are different need to be given a chance...in this case, Ness's creative choices ended up being perfect for the world he created, in my opinion :)
Yeah, I know.. I'm trying,.About to start the next 6 chapters :)
It started off slow for me. But as I went along it speeds up! I do really like the concept of hearing thoughts and how that's a bunch of noise. I think it will definitely turn into something interesting as it goes. I think either tomorrow or the next day is when I can pick back up reading it.
just ordered it from my library ill catch up when it arrives.

I won't be able to do 6 a day...it ended up being too much but I will comment as I go :)
Yeah David I think so too! It seems like there are places to go with that concept! Im excited about it! :-)
I'm about 10 chapters in, will catch up to our goal after I get some grading done.I like it so far. I wish I hadn't read the .5 book - I feel like having that much insight into "the girl" is really not helping me stay with the MC.
I don't mind the writing much. It took some getting used to, but it's phonetics for the most part. I hate books with tons of new words AND different spellings - this hasn't been so bad.
The Noise is fabulous. I love the commentary on identity. I am looking forward to more on identity, and, I'm guessing gender?
Oh. Um, are Ben and Cillian partners, or friends? I was having a really hard time deciding. Anyone have vibes any particular way? David, you've read the whole thing: do we ever find out?
I kept expecting more overt homosexual activity in a town comprised solely of men.
Yes I was also curious about Ben and Cillian's relationship. I didn't really get a feeling. But maybe the feeling is just that it has made us curious about it. Hopefully that gets answered!
Yeah, I kept feeling they would rape Todd when he became a man! (My American literature teacher has totally ruined me with sexual points in literature... I see it everywhere!) And I think they are gay. A town where no woman have been in years? Some has gone gay for the touch, to feel loved. And nothing's wrong with that. I just think their urges are too strong.
Lol @ sannie. The things academia does to us! (I was right there with you!)
I'm glad I'm not the only one Alyssia :D haha
And honestly, the further I get, the more I see the possibility.I am terrified of what /actually/ happened to the women.

I have a weakness for adorable gay couples, so I had to ask. :)
Me too :/ and why they want viola

Hehe, well, it's not clear so you can definitely think of them how ever you want!
Sannie wrote: "Me too :/ and why they want viola"rape? sacrifice? dancing naked in the streets?
What I don't understand after today's section is why the (view spoiler) I look forward to the explanation.
How are the rest of you doing? Do we need to alter the pace?
Exactly, definitely one of those three, if not all of them! Yes! Why? I need to know!
Yes! I was also wondering the same thing! I'm fine with the pace but if I need to slow down or speed up i will! I'm Halfway through today's chapters. I will check back then!
Also would someone please explain to me how to add a remove spoiler to my comments. I access gr from my cell only and there is really no way for me to figure it out. Unless of course its a blonde moment Haha Any help would be great!
Do you guys want to start on Saturday or Sunday?
Do you want to set a pace (__ chapters/day + discuss) or just read along and post behind spoilers?
What do you think?
