Read Runners discussion

A great suggestion came to us - why not have a thread where one can post what one is going to read next, and if someone else thinks two's company, we're on for a buddy read!

Of course, we respect good idea and thanks to Manju and Nelly for sending across this one.

So, put up the names of 1-2 books you intend to read in the near future, and let's see who wants to join in the fun! :)

To Kill a Mockingbird

Uncle Tom's Cabin

i have read both Ini.. but wouldn't mind reading them again with you :) :) But only in July...if that's ok then let me know.. :) :)

I so wanna read To kill a Mockingbird ini , but am scared of your notorious procrastination :P :P

I'm reading A Song for Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay in June. Anybody up for a buddy read??

no kicking for now but if you did not join me for buddy after commiting then I'll be coming for you.

In the meantime I'll also search net for Gerrard's free, corner & penalty kicks:p:p:p

Lets get it done in June... too much time has already been wasted :P :P

*thinks I need to ask Sumit if I can make a separate folder to keep track of all the buddy reads I have promised to do in June* :P :P

Lol, Sri... I have set up a new folder where you can keep track of your personal schedule. Build up a thread there for yourself!

@Sri.. it's been 3 months I started that book :-P :-P

Misha wrote: "@Sri.. it's been 3 months I started that book :-P :-P"

I know... we will finish it in June :P :P

Sumit wrote: "Lol, Sri... I have set up a new folder where you can keep track of your personal schedule. Build up a thread there for yourself!"

I saw that... hence the request.. Am not sure a single thread will suffice... LOLss :P :P

PS.. will have to start my own thread there right down to buddy read details :) :)

@sri kick na,. Atleast i ll move one page ahead,.:P:P:P

Sri, yeah. Create your own thread for this year. You can post reads, planned reads and reviews there.

that's the way to do it @Ini.... page by page.... 1 page a day... slow & steady wins the race :-P :-P

Nopes .. Didn't read last two days.. Too much work and tiredness..

I will definitely die before I complete a buddy read with either of you, if you go at this pace :P :P Lolss *kidding ok* :) :)

@mish,. Not one page a day.. I am reading only one page for so many days..:P:P:P:P Had i read one page for every other book i started, i would have gone few pages ahead by now..:-P:-P:-P
