The Readers Review: Literature from 1714 to 1910 discussion

We will begin reading this book on July 1, reading approximately 8 chapters a week over a six week period. You can get a copy of the ebook free at Amazon. My library does have a copy so yours may too. I will be reading from a Collins edition published in the late 1800s. Actually reading schedule will be posted this week. The chapters in my book are in Roman numerals.

Reading schedule. I’ve done the schedule in Arabic numbers even though my text is in Roman numerals.

Week 1 - Chapters 1 thru 8
Week 2 - Chapters 9 thru 16
Week 3 - Chapters 17 thru 24
Week 4 - Chapters 25 thru 32
Week 5 - Chapters 33 thru 40
Week 6 - Chapters 41 thru 48
Week 7 - Chapters 49 thru 56
Week 8 - Chapters 57 to conclusion

Does everyone's copy have the same number of chapters? Mine has 67. I downloaded it from Gutenberg.

My copy also has 67 chapters.

Hmmm. I’m using an antique book. Are you both using an ebook? I will review my copy tomorrow. We can always extend the weeks to 8. I feel my book is fairly accurate since the fly leaf is dated 1890 something

Yes, I'm reading an ebook from Gutenberg.

Ebook also, though I got mine as a freebie on Amazon.

Maybe we should post the end of each chapter to guarantee that everyone are reading the same parts. To see if the editions are different.

I’m reading an ebook from Amazon, Delphi Complete Works of Wilkie Collins. It has 67 chapters.

I have just read Chapter VIII - which has the title - ‘Master and Pupil,’- Is that as far as I should go in the first section?

You guys are correct. 67 chapters. I have no clue what I was thinking. I will adjust the reading schedule to show 8 weeks. Trev, you are correct. You’ve read what was needed for this week’s discussion. Basically 8 chapters per week, with 10 chapters the last week
