[Meg]

Nominations for the next chunky read. Please do not nominate if you do not plan on being part of this group. Books of 750+ are considered chunky.

[Sheila , Supporting Chick]

Ulysses by James Joyce

[Jennifer W]

When would the next chunky read start, Meg?

[Marialyce]

Depending on the start time, Meg, I would like to nominate 2666.

[Kristen]

I nominate Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

[Sherin]

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

[Meg]

I am thinking we should start November 13th

[Marialyce]

Thanks, Meg.....I can't do it then...perhaps the next chunky read I can participate. So I will withdrew 2666 as my nomination.

[Meg]

Nominations will close on Friday.

[Kristina]

I'd like to nominate This Is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn by Aidan Chambers.

[Meg]

Marialyce,
I looked at that book and only saw a Spanish version, is there an English version?

[Marialyce]

Meg, yes, there is.
An English-language translation by Natasha Wimmer was published in the US on November 11, 2008, by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2009, by Picador.

[Jennifer W]

I'd like to nominate The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, unless we're going with Tera's idea and reading Anna K: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/6...

[Tera, First Chick]

ugh I'm so sorry I didn't see this post when I started the Anna K one. You'd think I'd know better to look past the first page when I've been gone a week. Truly no pressure I can just let Anna K run longer without it being your chunky read.

[Jennifer W]

No worries, Tera, Anna K. and all these are on my "someday" list, I wouldn't mind any of them.

[Meg]

that is no problem Tera, we will pick some other books!

[Meg]

This thread closes tonight!

[Jennifer W]

I just noticed that there's a poll up for this. I had to scroll through a lot of other polls to find it, though. I just thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention that it's out there!

[Rebecca]

Maybe a poll # would help us to find it.

[Kristen]

could someone post the link - I don't see it. thanks!

[Kristen]

oh, I see it - poll #49

[Sheila , Supporting Chick]

This should be a link for the poll:

[Meg]

thank you sheila!

[Tera, First Chick]

Meg I hope you don't mind but i went in and made this featured on the home page so that its right on the home page at the bottom like the other polls. If youd rather have it on the polls page I can switch it (or you can in the edit feature)

[Lori]

I've never have participated in a chunky read. When does it start? When do you finish? How does it work?

[Meg]

Tera -- thank you for doing that

Lori
I think we will start around 11/13. We read approximately 100 pages per week and discuss as we read. We would love to have you. Our next book will be Brothers Karamazov.

[Lori]

I will try and join you! Thanks Tera!
