I put no break, but would be happy enough with a short break (ie a week or two so that anyone a bit behind has a chance to catch up) - I just don’t think I’d have the self control not to just read on if the break was significant! ---

To be honest, I have no reason to believe the break would NOT be significant 😹 After all, it’s about getting readers to buy the second book as well, innit? 😁 I think we can decide this on short notice (i.e. when the first persons have finished the final week’s reading, which shouldn’t take too long as it is only one chapter iirc). For the schedule of the second volume, I checked out the book and it is of similar length and contains 26 chapters (#24 - #49). Currently I am way too lazy to come up with a detailed schedule - would you all be ok with just continuing to read two chapters per week? I think Murakami writes chapters of pretty equal length so I’m expecting this to work out more or less okay. (If you definitely need a more detailed schedule, then please nudge me and I will work it out.) Given the intensity of our discussions here and the amount of readers who want to continue, I will just continue with one thread per week if that’s okay. ---

I meant significant in terms of time - like if we set it to start in a month or two rather than a shorter break then it would be more difficult to resist just reading on. But the plan you’ve suggested sounds good! If it happens that a week for some reason has some obnoxiously long chapter or a really significant ramp up in difficulty then I’m sure we can just discuss and arrange any updates to the schedule in the threads. ---

The end of the book is drawing near, and we should decide when to continue with the second part of the book. This week we’ve seen the last Nakata chapter of this part, and there will be one more upcoming Kafka chapter (if everything continues as before). So I guess we can already start to gauge how much of a cliffhanger this division will bring about… _Poll ([view on site](https://community.wanikani.com/t/%E6%B5%B7%E8%BE%BA%E3%81%AE%E3%82%AB%E3%83%95%E3%82%AB-kafka-on-the-shore-%F0%9F%8F%96-advanced-book-club/56662/68))_ ---

For those of you who are planning to continue into Part 2: I’ve added a reading schedule to the OP. When I finally got around to checking the page counts, I discovered that there are quite a bunch of shorter chapters in this part, and when I realized that the initial plan of reading 2 chapters per week might only give us ~25 pages sometimes, I decided to change the schedule somewhat. Please have a look at my proposal in the OP; it usually gives us max. 50 pages per week, with two weeks being a bit longer (but they are surrounded by shorter weeks so you can mitigate this if you are worried). The schedule covers 11 weeks and gets us to the end of the whole book on Nov 4th. (BTW I think this is perfect timing; the next ABC pick after Spice and Wolf will start on Nov 5th.) What do y’all think? _Poll ([view on site](https://community.wanikani.com/t/%E6%B5%B7%E8%BE%BA%E3%81%AE%E3%82%AB%E3%83%95%E3%82%AB-kafka-on-the-shore-%F0%9F%8F%96-advanced-book-club/56662/72))_ Oh and by the way, while doing the page counts I discovered that there is a (very short) hidden chapter somewhere in the book, just like an easter egg 😁 I deliberately did not indicate it in the schedule so that you can still be surprised by it if you like 🙃 ---
