After Book One 前編 we ended up going on a Hiatus, leading to some of us continuing to continue reading on their own, without a schedule. Because of this there are no weekly threads for those parts. Instead, to have a place to talk about the second half of the story, there are threads for each 後編・前編 f…

Valentine’s gift for all of you reading along! Book One Chapter 15: 青豆：気球に碇をつけるみたいにしっかりと Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84

Thanks for letting us know! Of course you can jump back in at any time! Do you tend to read very intensively and try to look up any unknown/unsure word, or do you only do so when it seems you can’t follow the story anymore, or you’ve seen the same word twice or thrice?

Usually I look up every word when reading - sometimes I even look up a word when I know the meaning but am unsure about the reading.

After a bit of a reading break I am now attempting to catch up (or actually start, as the case may be!) with the book clubs I’m interested in. Have things been going well? I noticed chapter 2 hasn’t been linked in the op. Did you need to adjust the pace for the difficulty level or did you just link…

I forgot to link the second and third chapters up in the OP. I actually didn’t make a thread for chapter 4 :woman_facepalming:. I myself have been behind on the chapters. I’ll try to be better about actually reading this book, and I’ll make a thread for chapter 4 on the weekend. I’m glad to hear you…

I added the links! Plus a shiny new one, too!!! Correction: 2 shiny new ones!

Oops, I haven’t read any Murakami this week. :eyes:

I’ve also been lax this week… I could have caught up, but as it stands I still have 15 or so pages to go.

Ooh you’re that close! That’s great! :slight_smile:

I haven’t been taking any notes, though. Just reading, and occasionally look up words that show up again and again.
