I haven't voted because I'm not sure I'll have time to partecipate in the discussion. Anyway I read Ethan Frome and Portrait of a Lady (and I'd really like to discuss them) and the others are all on my tbr list. If I'll have time, any books you choose is fine for me!

It's a pretty heated race between The Awakening and Ethan Frome, should we do both? They're both really short. We probably could do both.

Ok so just going by alphabetical order, how about we start The Awakening on Monday May 4th (since a few people are busy for the rest of this month and to give others time to get the book)?

Sounds good! "The Awakening" is a really short novel (155 pages in my edition), so should we read it all at once, or break it up in 2 or 3 parts?
If we break it up in 3 parts we could do Chapters 1-14, then 15-24, then 25-39, or if we break it up in two parts then we could do Chapters 1-19, then 20-39.

I think two parts, we would easily usually have one part being 80 - 100 pages with the longer books. But I don't mind if other people want three.

Is it okay to only participate in the Ethan Frome part of the discussion? I forgot my copy of The Awakening at my parent's during Easter break...

I think perhaps if we don't want to rush through it and really concentrate on analyzing the novel, it would be nice to do it in 3 parts. I'll put up the schedule!
