Re Zero book club home thread

Japanese Language Reading
#241

Only three week left? That was pretty quick. I was expecting it to last all summer. I will need to poll a lot of these things before deciding though, I do think that 50 pages a week seems intense because I planned to get faster and faster with each book and there is a lot of them. (And it’s faster than my pace T.T)

I guess I should start doing my job then…
First thing first,

Will you be reading Re Zero book 2?

Really wish I could keep up, lately I haven’t been able to give even a minute to reading this in the week. I’ve been reading small parts to keep up with discussions in threads, but I still want to continue it from where I paused and hope to finish in time for vol 2 :pensive:

AHAHAHAHA kill me

Anyway, I intend to see the book club through (although I’m going slow) but I’ve discovered that I don’t enjoy reading enough to want to read a novel where I already know what’s going to happen. If Re:Zero readings go on I might pop in once we hit a point the anime hasn’t covered.

Just to clarify, while I voted for 3 in the last poll, I counted the amounts of book being read and not the book clubs(so I guess I technically counted the intermediate club twice, in a way). And I’m also reading SAO at a somewhat set pace, but that’s not an actual book club :slight_smile: It’ll also increase by one when the beginner club starts the next book, so it’ll technically be 3 or 4 then, but I highly doubt that’ll take much time

(And with regards to the rest, I already have the first six volumes+ the first short story collection and the first EX book, but I’m also patient, so I’d honestly be fine with any of the options)

I’m also reading Strike the Blood and KonoSuba in parallel, but that’s not part of any other book club so I voted 0. :thinking:

As for Re: Zero, I already have the first 3 books so I can go on without a break after we’re done with the first.

Yeah, I didn’t actually count SAO into my vote either, I just mentioned it :slight_smile:

I also counted the intermediate book club twice, because that makes sense to me.
So as of now, I’m reading in parallel:

  • Aria (book club)
  • Haruhi (book club)
  • kombini (book club)
  • this
  • kokoro (not a book club)
  • random manga whenever I feel like it.

So, in other words, you’re saying we don’t have enough book clubs yet? :wink:

Just kidding, in case that wasn’t obvious… but I would actually join a new book club even though I’m already in pretty much all of the current ones

If someone else is organizing and the book seems interesting, I’d definitely join. :crazy_face:

Well, the only book I have(that I can remember at the moment) that I haven’t at least read part of not related to any of the current book clubs is SAO Progressive(which, judging by what I’ve seen people say about it and the first few pages does seem like a pretty good book, though), so unless there’s a lot of people interested in that I won’t be the one starting a new club, at least :sweat_smile: (unless I randomly discover a new book that seems super interesting and a lot of people seem interested in or something)

Though, to be honest, at least part of why I like the book clubs is because it’s cool to find out about new books… but on the other hand, I wonder if starting a book club about something just so I could ask questions about it if I wanted to would work :thinking:.

I wonder if just making a topic mentioning some books I want to read and asking if anyone wants to join me would work :thinking: I think this book club started similarly to that?

I could go for a KonoSuba club :grin: might help motivate me to read it faster

I actually already have the first books of that :sweat_smile:

(I think I recall hearing that the author of it is friends with the author of re:zero, too)

Yeah, the authors of both books are friend and helped each other writing their book. The two caracter are completly different. You can see hint of each other’s book in their book. (or in the anime)

There is a audiobook for this that I listen to bits of periodically. It is kind of fun/interesting/not too impossible to follow to at least some degree.

(If you by any chance wanted to do an audiobook club :wink::turtle:)

Just realized something. I asked how many page per week you wanted with the fact that we will increase the number of pages each book but I still wrote 35 pages which is the current paced so…

Repoll.(I know you like it)
How many page per week would you like to read

  • 40
  • 45
  • 50
  • 55

On the week I write either super early in the morning when I am in a hurry or very late when i’m tired so… mistakes happens a lot sorry.
