So, Special Topics in Calamity Physics is over 500 pages long. And, judging by the enthusiastic response all 85 pages of The Prophet received, Clint and I have determined that it might be best if we both extend and segment the reading of this tome. I think tome is the correct word for so...weighty a text, yes?
Thus: We will all attempt to have around a hundred pages read every week. This should take just over a month (Clint may need to check my numbers. We're not all math majors, you know). All participants are encouraged to both develop and answer discussion questions for/by their fellow readers, to foster even more of that stimulating debate this humble blog has played host to in its illustrous one month history. Of course reading ahead will be permitted, and falling behind, though mocked, will be tolerated. Barely.
The first hundred pages should be finished by, let's say, next Saturday (the 24th). We should finish the book by or before the 23rd of March, but discussions are encouraged throughout this process. We will recommence suggestions and voting for April's book when Special Topics is done. It'll be like an extra-special birthday surprise for me. And Shane, I guess. As if he even counts.
p.s. you'll thank me later
