As a follow-up to our book length discussion, I double-checked the lengths of our current proposals (and added the information to the OP). In that process I noticed that unfortunately the nomination 言の葉の庭 clocks in at 396 pages, which is definitely too long for the reading speed of this book club… 
@Mistyann, you proposed this book and therefore you can of course decide what should happen with your nomination. We could either remove it from the list 
, or you could carry it over to the Advanced Book Club if you like? (This would mean a significant increase in reading speed, though, so it is up to you of course whether you want to propose it there.)
