I’d love to join!
So far I only read a few “easy” books at my own pace (I prefer focussing on one story at a time). I’ll be going to Japan in September and was planning on buying his books anyway, as 2 Japanese people recommended several of his works. I guess starting later means I’ll be reading at my own pace anyways? 
Only 10 days to go! Since it’s almost time and there hasn’t been much change for a bit, I closed the poll on the schedule.
It’s not a huge difference between 1st and 2nd place (even disregarding people who voted for both), so I’m wondering if we should go with the 2nd place to make the schedule more accessible.
Sorry for calling you out, @Akashelia; since you’re the only one who voted exclusively for the 2nd place and not also for the 1st, I’d like to get your opinion. I know you said before that it probably wouldn’t make much difference, but you have had a couple weeks now to consider and maybe read a bit. Do you think you could keep up if we went for the 11 week schedule? Or keep up with the 10 week one even? Or would it not make much difference and you’d read at your own pace anyway?
For the other side, @Magyarapointe and @tsundokunoyatsu; you only voted for the 10 week option. How strong of a preference is it, and would it create a problem timing wise for you if the schedule went for one week longer?
Everyone else’s opinions are of course also very welcome! 
I’m okay for the 11 week schedule, thanks for asking! I’ll do my best
I won’t know before I try, it is not easy, but I am waiting very patiently for the start date to read more than the first page 
Hi! Sorry, I’m new and I didn’t know we could vote for multiple options 
The 11 week schedule works just fine for me. Thank you for coordinating!
Sorry I’m late to the party, but either is absolutely fine. Let’s go with 11 weeks !
Hey, welcome! 
And no need to be sorry, really!
I‘m also in favor of the 11 week schedule with the current poll result as it is more inclusive for newer members and for the others it’s not a significant change in the grand scheme of things. 
So close! Getting really excited now 
can’t wait to read page 2!
Could you create a Vocabulary sheet for the club? I’m going to look up things for once and write them down, so might as well share it
(I read 7 pages without look up and it went fine! Could probably get by that way, but I think I want to take the time to look things up to learn the new words too)
Probably にった こうすけ ?
I think that’s correct. He’s introduced as “ニッタ” on page 24.
I’m so sorry everyone! 
I was away until late yesterday and completely forgot to post the 1st weekly thread in advance. I’ll do that right now!
Okay, here we go!!
I also went ahead and created week 2 while I was at it, because I will be away from home Wednesday to Sunday again. I’ll be posting them on the weekends from week 3 on!
I’ll be changing the Hiragana for 新田’s name, thanks!
I’d be happy to include a link in the OP if you or someone else wanted to create one. I don’t think I’ve ever done that myself, so I’d honestly rather someone else create it. 
Alright, I made one, you can add it to the first post:
The thumbnail says that the Sheet is private but I tested in Incognito it works fine, everybody should be able to view it and edit it. I went for one tab per chapter + there is a tab with proper names
Now you can also see how far along I am, only made it to page 20 so far
I can confirm this works (though I haven’t added anything yet) !
Thank you! 
I have added it to the home thread as well as the weekly threads.
Thanks! Can you also make Week 1 and Week 2 clickable in the home post?
This is brilliant! Thank you 
I have added a black background to the cells in Notes column for the Proper Names from chapter 2 and suggest that we do it for the rest of the book. Was just thinking that it could potentially be spoilery otherwise. Imagine, “Suzuki-san, The killer” 
If you click on the cell though, you can still see the text in the formula bar. If someone has a better idea let me know
This word’s furigana looks to me like とつさ but when I look it up it should be とっさ
Is it just my book, is it just this edition, or is it normal? 
It’s the same for me. There was another one earlier…仏頂面, I think (ぶっちょうづら, which read as ぶつちょうづら）
