Our May 2014 open themed book will be The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Please borrow or purchase the book in your preferred format and begin reading it. We'll start discussion on May 1st, 2014.
Since this the longest book we've read so far (about 700 pages) I'd like to make the suggestion to allow the discussion to go over to June as well. Of course if most people finish it before then, cool. But I'm a slow reader, so I don't suspect I'll read it that fast.
So I'm going to say let's try to discuss 15 chapters a week? If anyone has a better idea, let me know. (There are 92 chapters, a prologue and an epilogue).
1st Week of May: Prologue-Chapter 14
2nd Week of May: Chapter 15-Chapter 30
3rd Week of May: Chapter 31-Chapter 46
4th Week of May: Chapter 47-Chapter 62
1st Week of June: Chapter 63-Chapter 78
2nd Week of June: Chapter 79-End

Also of note, this book is extremely cheap, so that's a bonus!
Since this book is highly regarded, I'm looking forward to it, but I'm a little more guarded this time around. Because it's so highly regarded, I don't want to be let down if it doesn't meet my expectations. Although what I read of it I did really like (got sidetracked per usual).
Happy reading! (you can of course begin now if you haven't already).
