We've decided to allocate three months per book, so this "book club" will continue for quite a long time.

People are welcome to join at any time, or choose to not partake in reading one of the books etc,

Poll closes tomorrow, by then we will know which book we will be starting with, i'll construct the order of the rest of them once this is done and post a timeline of the other books in my OP.

A separate thread will be made for each book, when we get around to reading it.

As for discussion, it can start the moment we start reading.The reading and discussing of the first book will officially start tomorrow and within that three months, along with the reading of the book, people are welcome to discuss it. Some may choose to discuss it only when they finish the book, but it's up to you. Once the three months are up we move on to the next book, but yeah, i'll post a timeline tomorrow so people are clear about the dates. I'll also repost this message in the new thread i'll create, linking back to this thread

Its also difficult for me to read it online. I have to wait till you all come to Emma . :(

Ah, I got distracted while reading Persuasion after the first five chapters, but now I'm ready to restart. ;)

Luckily I have got the book now, so I am in.

Does anyone know when the S&S discussion is going to begin?

it officially begins October 22nd, but I'm going to be kind of anarchistic and begin reading October 1st.

Yeah, october the 22nd - unless the majority of you would prefer an earlier date?

Ok thank you

If everyone is ok with started the reading and discussing now - we can do that, let me know in this thread and ill change dates. I'm keen to read it too

Starting early would work good for me

let's start now!!!

I've been reading Persuasion. I'm really enjoying it. I'm about a third in, and I find Austen's prose to be exquisite. And while I'm not sure the story has the depth of Pride and Prjudice or Emma, her prose seems tops here.

I wish I would have found this thread earlier because I just started reading Pride and Prejudice.

sense and sensibility :)
