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

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:

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…)

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
