June 2019: "The Passage" Jaime's pick

[Sylvia]

Use this thread to discuss your novel during June. Feel free to create a schedule, agreed upon posting expectations, questions, etc.

Not my group but my favorite book!!!!!

[Nikolai]

2 or 3 I'd say. As for 1, I don't think I'll have enough of a memory span to thoroughly discuss the first half of the book at the end of the month.

[Nikolai]

Hey, I was just about to order the book when I saw there is a regular edition and a TV tie-in. The TV tie-in seems to have 200 more pages. Which one are you guys reading? Is it even any different or it's just the formatting that accounts for the pages?

[Marisela]

picked up the book from my library today

[Nikolai]

Hey guys, when are we gonna discuss the book and up to which chapter?

[Nikolai]

The only bookstore that had it available in my country... actually didn't, so I get delayed a couple of days before I could find a copy to read. I'm at chapter 3 currently, though I think I might be able to reach 18 by Saturday. I don't yet know if I like it, though it does seem interesting

[Nikolai]

Hey, can we do the discussions on sunday, alchohol kept me from catching up yesterday?

[Marisela]

I need to catch up too. My schedule has been pretty crazy but I’ve been reading whenever I can. I’m on chapter 8 right now

[Marisela]

How is everyone’s reading going?

[Nikolai]

Well, pretty much stopped at chapter 8, not sure if I will continue. It seemed decent, just not my kind of thing. Plus the author seems to waste too many words on seemingly pointless scenes. For example when some guy had to pee and that took like a page or two.

[Sylvia]

Not everyone likes all books. Your time is valuable. After giving it a fair chance, don't feel guilty about moving on to something more enjoyable. Even if some people love it, and others hate it - it's worth the discussion. And then just move on to the next ;-)

[Marisela]

I am enjoying the book for the most part. There are certain chapters, like the ones about ‘grey’ that I kind of get lost with. I don’t really remember any of the parts that have to do with him.
