November Group Read Sign Up Post!

[glinda]

So, based on the response to the last post I think we can safely say that people would like to do the thing. (Thank you for keeping yourselves entertained while I fell off the internet for a week and a bit, sorry about that.) So here we have the sign up post!

Basically this can be as big or as little of a commitment as you feel up to. Dependant on your reading speed/available time you can sign up to read one book or ten books. Doesn't matter how big or small the book, only that its something that has been taking up space on your book shelf (or case/box/tottering pile beside your bed) for some time and you've never quite got round to it.

All you need to do is comment below with the book(s) you want to read this month.

Each Friday in November I will make a check-in post, and you can comment with your progress so far. Celebrating little achievements as well as big ones is heartily encouraged.

I plan to read:

* the Iliad in either Lattimore or Fagles translation

And here are my stretch goals, in no particular order:

* a book of writing instruction, perhaps one of the how-to-memoirs or Stephen King's On Writing
* something else for the knowledge it will gain me
* Once Broken Faith, Seanan McGuire
* the novella accompanying McGuire's Once Broken Faith; I am not sure of its title
* something else fun

I found Stephen King's On Writing interesting when I read it a couple of years ago - I'm not a fan of his work (I don't read much in the way of 'horror') and I found it less 'how to' than I was expecting but interesting nonetheless.

Well, it is a memoir, as I understand. But yeah.
