Hey guys, I hope everyone has had time to get a copy of 2666. As previously mentioned, we will be discussing each part until the book is finished. Then, we'll discuss part five and the book as a whole.

So, the book breaks down like this (page numbers may vary, but should be approximately the same:

Part 1: p.3-159 (156 pages)

Part 2: p.163-228 (65 pages)

Part 3: p.231-349 (118 pages)

Part 4: p.353-633 (280 pages)

Part 5: p.637-893 (256 pages)

For the sake of momentum, I think it might work best if we were to combine Part 2 with Part 3. This way, it will give us four solid sections to discuss at fairly regular intervals. I don't know how many WPM you guys read at/how much free time to reasonably expect from each person, but if each person could manage a 30 minute reading period per day at about 30 pages per reading period, we could perhaps finish this book in a month.

What I'd like to do is use this Part 1 as a kind of testing period to see how it goes. So with that in mind, let's say that on August 18th, people should be ready to discuss Part 1 of 2666.

If you've got any suggestions or questions please let me know!
