    Know exactly what you mean :)

    I'll get a thread up for "The Once and Future King" this weekend for discussion.
    And I'd aim to have our next book selected a few days before August is out. I'll sit down with a calendar and plan it all out. I know what you mean about needing time for the book.. I've wanted to be more involved, but I've started a new job this month and haven't been paid yet :mad: Tried to get it in the library but apparently they don't have a copy.

    How is it going for people reading it? Is it good?


    I am reading this at the moment. Not really my sort of thing and am struggling a bit. I am persisting though.

    Hey folks,

    Sorry to say, but I don't think I can take too much part in the book, or any other sort of club, for the forseeable future. Just started a new course, and it's eating up all my time, so pleasures such as reading for the sake of it have become guilty ones, and recording my thoughts on books even more so!

    Not surprised to see this has failed.

    I didnt have much interest in the book chosen so was gonna wait for the next round. Was there even a discussion or anything for the last one? How far did it get?

    Did anyone actually read the book? I attempted to but the book was really boring. I gave up on it after about 60 or so pages and I never do that. I usually manage to struggle through but I was getting absolutely no enjoyment from reading it whatsoever.

    I read it but admittedly I did find it tough going until about half way in .. after that I think I just got caught up in it and it whizzed along lively enough.
    Fantasy wouldn't be my first love though.

    I was the exact same; I only really got into it when I started reading the Ill-Made Knight. I'm not into fantasy either - that's why I love bookclubs: I read books that ordinarily I wouldn't.
