Quick poll about tha damn long book

Ladies:

I have an idea, but if you don't like it, I won't be offended.

Does anyone think we should split this monster of a book into two book club discussions? Discuss, say, pages 1 through 400 at our Christmas book club and then the rest of the tome at the January meeting??

On the upside, it would give us all more time because at this rate, NO ONE is gonna be done by Dec. 10. On the downside, that book will be in our lives for another month.

Let's discuss the pros and cons here. Leave a comment with your vote.

Who's reading?

Here's proof that I am. I'm now done with the second chapter, which means I've read a little more than 200 pages. I'll reserve my thoughts on what I've read so far for the actual book club meeting. I've decided that I need to read at least 100 pages a week to get through this tome by Dec. 10. So if you haven't started yet, you need to read more than that per week, and it's not exactly a book one sails through!

This posting is also a good test to see if anyone is looking at the new book club blog...
