コンビニ人間 Home Thread (Intermediate Book Club)

This book seems very interesting, but walls of kanji are still scary for me >.< Also reading 4 books with the clubs might be overkill… but my afternoon part time job died so I kind of have time, but I should be looking for another job but I’d rather read japanese books

uguu~

Looking forward to reading a book where paragraphs are composed of more than one sentence?

I made some changes to the usual format to account for different versions of the book and the reading sessions. I accept all kinds of criticism and suggestions pls be nice

Edit: I already had to correct one mistake… oops
@Kyasurin you may need to vote again :see_no_evil:

What poll would that be?

The participation poll for week 1 :sweat_smile:

What happened to the tittle? Is it some kind of secret code? :thinking:

Kip!

No idea who changed it or what it means, but I can edit it back, if you wish.

I changed it back. @kitsunensei changed it. An accident perhaps?

I never edited a thread title before, was there an option to check the edit history?

Yep, click this to see the history:

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the info!

Yeah it was a easter egg typo, I was just taking out the extra bracket after the timezone thing
(lone brackets and quotation marks haunt me in my dreams…)

Haven’t even finished the reading for week 1? Too bad cuz’ the Week 2 thread is up!

The fastest thread upload in the Far West!

I learnt from the best :sunglasses:
Or maybe I wasn’t available later shh

My number 1 reason for posting threads on Friday evening :stuck_out_tongue:

What… how… it was just Monday… is it not Tuesday today? Where did the week go?

I’ll catch up to you guys eventually!

I don’t know how comparable these values are across different versions and if anyone finds this helpful but (instead of actually reading or studying… ) I looked up the percentage and location values on the Kindle:

Wish we could do that for every book :sweat_smile: Thanks. Talking about the percentage in particular, that will be very helpful with the ebooks. So if we can add them to the main post
