just so you know, 1984, siddhartha, and heart of darkness are all free online and in full on that website I linked, personally I'm interested in reading any 4 of the nominated books. I have about an equal knowledge of all them but have never fully read any of them. 2 I've seen movies based on, and 2 I've semi-skimmed for school.
How fast/slow do you guys want to pace it?
Um... I think I'm a bit late with telling you I've got it. What are we supposed to do now? What about meeting here on Friday (my evening/night, your afternoon) with a little conversation? I can read pretty fast, too, especially in school, because, luckily, some subjects (which not so many people graduate in) are already quite free.
So you're saying finish it by friday or what? We could just comment and discuss it as we read it also
