Even though we’ll still be reading 獣の奏者 book 2 for another 4.5 months, I wanted to get everyone’s opinions on reading other 上橋菜穂子 books after we’re done with this one. Below is a poll with various books and paces, with very rough estimates on how long it would take to read the book.
Some additional notes:
- These estimates assume one/two chapters per week as indicated, which may not quite make sense depending on how short or long the chapters are. For example, 狐笛のかなた seems to have several short chapters, so even though my estimates are based on one chapter per week, combining some chapters into a single week may make more sense.
- I’m leaving out 鹿の王 because it’s two long books or four mid-length books to tell a single story, which I think would be way too long of a commitment.
- It’s fair to consider 獣の奏者 books 3 and 4 a sequel to books 1 and 2 (they were published three years after the first two books). We’d either want to read neither of them or both of them.
Which of the following would you consider joining (assuming start date is early 2021)?
- 獣の奏者 books 3 and 4 ~~ 1 chapter per week (1072 pages, 65 weeks)
- 獣の奏者 books 3 and 4 ~~ 2 chapters per week (1072 pages, 33 weeks)
- 狐笛のかなた ~~ 1 chapter per week (392 pages, 27 weeks)
- 狐笛のかなた ~~ 1-2 chapters per week depending on length (392 pages, 20 weeks)
- 狐笛のかなた ~~ 2 chapters per week (392 pages, 14 weeks)
- 精霊の守り人 ~~ 1 chapter per week (360 pages, 19 weeks)
- 精霊の守り人 ~~ 2 chapters per week (360 pages, 10 weeks)
- Some other 上橋菜穂子 book / some other pace (please explain)
