OotP Re-Read: Sunday Evening, Here

[slowfox]

OK, there seemed to be some interest in a collaborative re-read/discussion of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, so I'm going to kick this off on Sunday evening.

My plan is to post a discussion on a chapter a day basis - that way, hopefully, more people will be able to carve out time to read, and catching up with the reading won't be as hard as if we were reading the whole thing in a week.

Does this seem OK with people?

Unlike a 'fresh' read, we're not constrained by spoiler niceties and the like - I'm quite interested in seeing how much foreshadowing and stuff was actually going on, and it's apparent to me that, looking back from VII to VI to V, Harry's character seems way less out of whack than it did coming forward from IV.

That all said, I'm not looking forward to Cho's character assassination :-(

That sounds like A Plan to me :-)

[slowfox]

So you up for this, then? A chapter a day?

[cynthia_black]

I shall give it a go!

[slowfox]

Excellent!

[glittertine]

At that schedule, I, too, shall try to participate!

[slowfox]

Yes, do! The more the merrier! :D

[uninvitedcat]

I'd love to participate, but my books are all packed up. :woe:

[slowfox]

Libraries FTW! :-)

[uninvitedcat]

Sadly, my local library appears to no longer be interested in books. :sigh:

I'm happy to pop in and out with what I can from memory though.

[slowfox]

You're more than welcome to so do!

[cynthia_black]

You'd probably be able to participate by memory for part of it!

[slowfox]

My suspicion, exactly!

I can't promise to be able to keep up, but I'll try. Have only about 40 pgs left to go in my present book, but still have kids underfoot for all daylight hours until the 26th.

[slowfox]

It'd be fantastic if you're able to join us - the advantage of having read the book already would be that you could drop in and out as time permits, no?

[pingviini]

I'd love to participate but I have a book deadline coming up, so no chance of reading a chapter a day for the next two weeks. Wah!

[slowfox]

Wah indeed :-( Well, feel free to chip in at any time, nonetheless: the more the merrier!
