Intermediate Japanese Book Club // Now Reading: 人質の朗読会 // Next: すずめの戸締り

Here is the thread for now. The book is divided into chapters and sections, so it shouldn’t be too hard to make a schedule (hopefully). I will get to it later.

Nicole, is the page limit for this book club still 350? I’m going to watch some booktuber videos and see if I can find some nominations, but I want to make sure I don’t pick anything too long.

Also curious about this!! Was going to nominate 世界99上 last time the poll came around but saw this rule :confused:

You see, the thing is that we are reading at ~15 pages per week, which means that a book of 350 pages will already take 23 weeks which is almost half a year! If people are not participating in a book and waiting for the next one, this will be a very long time for them. That’s why we have this rule.
If you are able to read at a speed of 30-50 pages per week, I would be super happy if you’d nominate these books to the Advanced Japanese Book Club // Now reading: イクサガミ (天)・Next: 光の帝国 instead!

Oh, I understand the rule, I just wasn’t sure if the page limit was 350 or if you would rather it be shorter since 23 weeks is pretty long like you said.

Yeah makes sense for sure! I think 30-50 pages/wk may school me at this point in my learning… Maybe if I stop reading anything else for a while :sweat_smile:
