Looks good to me. Six chapters a week works well.

[Robin P, Moderator]

Yes, that's fine.

[Everyman]

Looks nicely manageable, giving enough time for good discussion.

It will be a re-read for me, but it's been many years, so it will be interesting to see how much I remember and how much seems new.

[Lynnm]

Just a friendly reminder that we'll start the last Barsetshire novel next Sunday!

See you then!

[Robin P, Moderator]

I started and found many of our old acquaintances are back!

Good to hear! (Well, except for Lily.)

I'm starting tomorrow - psyched!

[Nicola]

The last one and the one that is actually on my 1001 list! I have read all of the previous books before starting it though and I'm glad I did. I don't like Trollope as much as some other of his contemporaries but I'm glad to have sampled enough of his books to now be pretty familiar with his style.

She's a cakewalk compared to Mr. Crawley.
