Theo's Group discussion

Have we decided on another book, or were we going with Around the World....I know it was a toss up between it and 20K Leagues. I still plan on reading the leagues this month, but I can follow along a schedule for ATW.

I could do it, but I didn't read the original question as setting us up for two months — merely picking between two Jules Verne. That said, these two couldn't be more different. There are no long lists of sea creatures in this one and the action keeps moving. I always love this book so am in if the rest of you want to. If we develop any kind of consensus, I'll put up a schedule.

I didn't read it as setting us up for 2 months either, I just thought since it was the other toss up. I didn't know they were the same author for both books. OH.

Is there another book you'd like to try?

We sure can. :D Take a breather and let others read their own lists for a couple weeks.

I'm game to whatever the selection is and am enjoying reading books that I somehow chose to skip at other points in my life. That being said, by now, it's a given with the homework associated with the subjects that I teach, I've been lousy at the discussion parts. Maybe if I wasn't on RAOK so much....nay... PS>waiting a couple of weeks would be great. My personally assigned Spring Break reading list is topped with LOTR, another never read and I'm just feeling that will be fairly involved (have also graciously been given some reference point materials by RAOKers to help me with this undertaking ;)

Did we want to start this one now, or would you rather wait until the 1st of April?

Scratch that. For me I will have to wait until the 1st. I have maxed out my book budget for the month. Considering how long my TBR list is, I put a limit on how much I can spend on new books until my TBR list is smaller. I just counted, I have 200 books on my list. Some of them have been on there for years. These are books I currently own. So if the rest of you want to start sooner, go ahead. I will catch up on the 1st :D

Not to mess up your thinking or anything, but this book is available for free, as it was published long ago. :)

I've never heard of Around the World being abbreviated, but I suppose a little research would answer that

I was going off the link that Jett posted.

I have a beautiful copy that I was given for my birthday last year that costs $1.99. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000...

Still out of my price range for the month :D Only 11 days left. No big deal.

:P Nope. I can wait. Although the Dan Brown book is free.

I posted a new topic about Di Vinci Code.
