本好きの下剋上 home thread

冬支度 to the end of 古代エジプト人に敗北 would also actually be 35 pages according to the physical book :slight_smile:

(Also @Ditto20)
Ah, I messed up where we were supposed to finish last week. Well, one chapter less to read this week :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: fun fact, I’m listing the chapters for the express purpose of not messing things up like that. And yet I still did
(Well, that’s what I get for reading everything at once almost one week later)

Is also good because it’s easier to see which chapters we’re reading, 具体的にね :+1: My book (on bookwalker) doesn’t have numbers for each chapter.

Btw, chapter 12 is still on the list :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, there’s no official chapter numbers, just names. When I made the schedule, it was just easier to visualize with chapter numbers.

Does this mean we read 1 chapter more than we were supposed to last week?
That’s why I feel the reading was long for the number of pages

No, the page count is correct. But when I read yesterday, I read one chapter extra (冬支度)

Naphthalene: “I should catch up on book clubs”
Also Naphthalene: is always one chapter ahead

WHICH ONE IS IT

  1. Naphthalene is one week behind
  2. “I should catch up on the book clubs”
  3. Starts with 本好きの下克上
  4. Misses the end
  5. Ends up one chapter ahead
  6. Next week immediately rolls in
  7. Gets confused about where we are in the book
  8. Eventually sorts things out and finishes reading the remaining chapters
  9. All is well; moves on to next book
  1. Do the same thing with other books
  2. realize that he/she is late for 本好き
  3. redo from step 1

I just wanted to make your list more accurate :stuck_out_tongue:

I just assumed that step 9 meant other books not belonging to clubs

:thinking:
I was sure it meant next book for book club since a lot of person have more than one. I guess I will leave it to Naphthalene to answer. just in case
Revised version
10-be too absorbed in other book that forgot to read 本好き
11- no time to read
12- Redo from step 1

With this I cover all option.

The point is that they keep putting off reading the clubs in favour of their guilty pleasures

Who wouldn’t right? Except me because now I double my bookclubs number last months. T.T Know I don’t want more book club for a while.

Or just regular pleasure. I’m caught up with the publication of the guilty pleasure one :sob:
But I have tons of books right now. The odds of me keeping up with book clubs after I’m caught up are vanishingly small. It’s okay, though, since I have a keikaku.

  1. Willfully ignore clubs for a few weeks
  2. Back to step one.

You can’t forget to read if you’re the one putting up threads.

That’s what I was talking about, actually. I’m following 8 book clubs at the moment.
Right now, there are only 3 left to catch up with (Kiki, 獣の奏者 and Re:zero). That last one is going to take 2 or 3 days though, since I’ve only read ~5 pages in volume 8 :sweat_smile:

Does anyone happen to know how much of the book (series?) is covered by the anime? I’ve heard they reorder a lot of stuff. Once we finish this book I’m planning on both watching the show and continuing with the series but I think I’d rather have my first exposure be through the books.

Well, according to Wikipedia, the first season covers the first arc (first 3 books) with the last episode being actually taken from the 5th (!) arc. That’s some serious reordering indeed.
Anyway, I assume the first book will correspond to roughly the first 3 or 4 episodes.

Wew, that’s a lot of book per episode

Yes the reordering is Immense. Theres also stuff omitted naturally (will talk about some of it in next weeks topic)
I wouldn’t watch more than 2 episodes, considering where we are at the moment, without fear of spoilers. The first 2 should be totally safe though.

Yes there is a TINY part from later at the very beginning and end of the first Season. It really doesn’t spoil much though without any context so I wouldn’t worry too much about it (Its a roughly 30sek to 1min Scene with a character you only get introduced to later).

When this week’s thread is super active (and probably full of spoilers), and I have just finished the first of the three chapters for this week… :sob:

I’ll catch up soon :triumph: #フォーラム好きの下剋上
