He must have said something in the make-up chair at some point.
Not to mention they put dots all over him. And did something to his ears as well.

Still had the voice, though. :subdued:

I really do not mind rereading Needful things but before we start we should consider how much of it at a time. People have very different reading pace and time. How many pages, how many chapters or something like that. Or do we intend to read it all and then discuss it? Earlier, in the groupreading i took part of here, we only read short stories. If were gonna try a novel we ought to read it in slices. NT is rather thick. At least thats how i see it. What do you think?

I agree. A short story collection sounds fun, and easier. I don’t mind any way we do it.

If we can agree on how big chunks on NT at a time it might work too. But, as you said, it would be easier with a short story collection.
maybe start with short stories and then later move on to novels.

Book Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Let’s say first five stories read by January 9, 7 PM (Central Time). Is that okay with everyone? That’s Tuesday so we have the rest of this week and weekend to get to it. :) But is that too much? I’m sort of fumbling around in the dark. Haha!

I'm a fast reader, but not everyone is. Also, keep in mind - family time, kid stuff, homework, etc. When we did it before, we read a story, then talked about that story, then moved on to another one. 5 stories might be a stretch for some folks.
