Do we start reading at any time? Should we be finished by May 11th? Sorry for the silly questions.

Not a silly question :) I wanted to give people enough time to read a good amount into the book before I started to post! You can start reading as soon as you would like! I plan to read about 40-50 pages a night :)

I forgot how much I love the narration and writing style. It is so easy to follow yet still very powerful. The Book Thief is such a unique story about war-time Germany. A great blend of laughter, love and sadness. Has anyone read the Jesse Owen's part yet?

Especially the writing style, and the unique perspective, because there are not that many books, where the author would write it in Death's perspective. The author, does a fantastic job of mixing different emotions. One second you are laughing, then you are crying, then you are angry, and so much more.
