By the way, when are we having the second week thread? On Monday (since the official start date was on a Monday I think)?

We started on the first, so I also think it’s tomorrow, yeah. Unless we’re not doing weekly for some reason.

The next thread should be out Sunday during the afternoon or evening.(which should be out for Monday morning in Japan) You will be notified in this thread and the link will be in the comment I will make and the OP.

Don’t worry it is weekly.

I just wanted to write to say thanks you again for those who participated in the reading aloud session it was really fun to do it with everyone. If you had any comments on something you would prefer just leave it here. For those who wanted to come and missed it don’t worry it’s open every week to everyone. (I know i’m kinda insisting a lot on that but I want it to be a success so endure it a little longer)

The same goes for anyone who have proposition of what to change/add to make this book club for useful and have any idea like having a short resume of the reading or something just write it down here.

I know it’s early but I wanted to know your first impression on the book in therm of difficulty.(Because it’s would be way too soon to ask if you like the story of not)

  • Easy to read and understand
  • Not especially hard or easy.
  • Kinda hard, need some efforts
  • Very hard, need lots of time and concentration

I think this would be pretty hard for me if I didn’t prelearn a lot of the vocab, but since I did I’d say it’s like 7/10 with 10 being impossible to read. I feel like I understand like 95% but there’s also the distinct possibility that I’m retarded and just think I know what I’m reading.

A lot of people seem to say things like this, or at least worry about something like that happening, but I’ve never really personally thought I’ve understood something and then turned out to be completely wrong(I did think so once, but that was just due to a bad translation making me think so).

I wonder if making that mistake actually happens much at all or if people just worry a lot unnecessarily :thinking:

There’s a lot of unique vocab which is making it take longer to read, but otherwise it’s not too bad. I imagine that should get better as we keep reading and I learn more of the vocab too, so it’ll probably be fine

Happen two or three times already. Don’t try to guess the end of the sentence before reading it. Your brain will make it so that you prediction is right

I don’t really do that(aside from my brain doing it automatically, but then I can just go back and reread if it doesn’t make sense with how I read it), so maybe it comes down to a difference in reading style then :woman_shrugging:. That’s also not really on a level where it seems like it’d affect someone’s overall understanding of the plot though

I don’t think I’ll be able to keep up with this one unfortunately. The prologue and part 1 were fine, but the start of Part 2 is terrifying. It’s almost like it’s in a different language.
I’ll still try my best but it’s about as hard as the Girl Who Leapt Through Time was about seven months ago at this point.

Wait, so you are reading ahead, then?
If so, you don’t need to worry. You can try to puzzle it out first, then ask questions in two weeks.

Sorry, I meant the individual parts, not chapters, so I’m still half way through week 1’s reading (which was up to part 4).
(I’m up to page 14 on the physical book, I’ve never come across so much pieces of vocab that I’ve never seen before, so I might have to take a break to do some FloFlo for a little bit).

Yeah, rereading as new facts come up that disagree with how you read a previous sentence really helps with comprehension.

Just some litte messages.

1-We are now ending the test drive and entering the real challenge. I hope you are all ready for it :slight_smile:

2-for those who are doing the reading aloud, we are currently at 1 hour and a half for 20 pages. Since we will be almost doubling the ammount of page would you prefer to only read a certain ammount of time, only parts, or all of it.

For the reading aloud I would like:

  • Read it all and just leave if I have stuff to do
  • Only read a certain for a certain ammount of time
  • Only read specific part

Wow that was quick ha ha. Thanks a lot for your hardwork

Edit: Just realized but we only have 9 week on that book. That is pretty quick. I don’t remember how we had in the other books though

It’s similar in length to Haruhi, but we’ll finish more than twice faster. If we get a nice group following along until the end, it could be nice to just keep going with the next books.

By the way, I just edited a typo in the schedule. The week before last is until the end of the chapter (I first planned 33 pages to the end of part 6, but the last part was only 2 pages, so I wrote 35 pages but forgot to update the first part of the sentence)

Next week is up

Btw The number of people coming to the reading aloud is becoming extremely low compare to the first week so…

  • I come at each Reading aloud
  • I come sometimes to Reading aloud
  • I do not come often to Reading aloud
  • I do not come to Reading aloud
  • I am busy right now but I will try to come to Reading aloud later on
