> [@Mara](#): > > I noticed that not many people recorded last week as finished yet I noticed this too. I wonder if the pace was too slow earlier so everyone had to read something else in between. And that something is now more interesting until they didn’t feel like stopping to come back to this book. This happened to me for the past 2 to 3 weeks. I have finished the other book last Saturday so I’m now 100% back with this book. I’m currently reading ahead so that I can finish this book asap before I start another book and get myself distracted again. So my vote is agree to both, i.e., keeping current schedule or to change to slower schedule, since I’m already reading ahead. ☺ ---

I’ve been trying to read a little bit of it every day and that keeps on not happening, so I end up panic reading it once the next week happens 😂 I very specifically didn’t read on our week off bc I didn’t want to get ahead but then I ended up behind again. In summary, I don’t need the pace changed, I just need to realize that I’m going to read the chapter in 1-2 sittings. That said I’d be perfectly fine if we wanted to add in some extra breaks. ---

> [@Mara](#): > > noticed that not many people recorded last week as finished yet … how are you all doing? I’m just slow, I just read a page or two a day and on some days I’m not up for it. The book is very easy to understand, it’s just my kanji knowledge is so low still. So. Many. Lookups. It’s not a very satisfying pace, so definitely don’t slow the club down for me. It’s too bad it’s not really possible to get page numbers on digital books, because it would be fun to comment as I read. But as it is, taking so long with a chapter, there’s not a lot I can contribute to club chatter. I guess I could comment based on % progress, maybe I’ll try that. Thanks so much for running the club! ---

I haven’t finished ch 4 yet, but it’s not a pacing problem - I usually read this one while commuting, but I’m in vacation right now, so I guess I’m just struggling to create a schedule/pace that works for me. I’ll eventually catch up, and don’t mind if others want to keep the current pace or speed up/slow down. ---

I’m reading along and it’s a bit lonely 😅 I’m OK with the current pace / schedule but I guess it would be nicer to have more reading along, otherwise feels a bit weird to be reading this book “with the club” while reading alone. ---

Sorry that you’re feeling that way! It sounds like a lot of us just kinda got hit with a lot of life all of a sudden. Hopefully you feel less and less lonely as the rest of us continue to catch up though. 🙂 We could also consider adding an extra catch-up week, since for the most part everyone seems fine with the schedule besides the fact that they happened to get a bit behind on reading. ---
