Alright, here's the poll. Really hope I got all suggestions, if not just let me know. Every member's got 3 votes and the poll closes this Saturday at 12am (I'm fuzzy on the timezone). Happy voting! Edit: Apparently proboards won't let me edit the poll...sorry for the typo, it's 'next' of course.

No worries, I just didn't want to ignore your suggestion! By something by Bennett I meant any book we will later have to agree on if most people want to read bennetts works

Thanks, Bina, for putting this poll up. I came here today and ProBoards looks totally different! Did everyone else get "upgraded?"

I'm in the middle of watching "Hemingeay & Gellhorn" so "A farewell to arms" works for me

I've found a copy and was trying to come up with a schedule suggestion for us to go by.
There are five sections already in the book, which we could use for our discussion. I'm assuming that the end of each section would be a good place to stop and discuss. But it makes the schedule a little front-heavy if we do strictly that. Using my copy as an example, the first three sections are 77, 78, and 70 pages. The last two sections are 48 and 43 pages.
So here's my thought...
5-week discussion, strictly with the book's sections, going Ch. 1-12 (77 pages), 13-24 (78 pages), 25-32 (70 pages), 33-37 (48 pages), and 38-41 (43 pages)
OR
4-week discussion, still using the sections, but combining the last two, for Ch. 1-12 (77 pages), 13-24 (78 pages), 25-32 (70 pages), 33-41 (91 pages)

Oh boy...Hemingway. Okay so I got the ebook and I think your 5-week plan sounds great, Kristie! What's everyone else think?

Already read (my first Hemingway actually) but I don't mind re-reading it a 5-week plan works for me too!
