I think I would prefer some kind of loose structure or schedule, just because I don’t read Korean super fast or anything so I won’t be blasting through it independently. Having something to follow would keep me motivated!
I’m fine keeping it all in one thread! Whatever works out best is ok for me.
I didn’t realise there were only 3 chapters, it doesn’t really seem worth splitting them.
I think to keep things simple we’ll have one thread per volume including a schedule which people can follow, or you can read at your own pace. As long as we’re careful to mention where we are and use spoilers, I think we should be okay.
Since it’s an informal book club and we have Japanese and Korean readers, we could pick a comfortable number of pages/week without worrying too much about page numbers and matching up the volumes (Japanese 317p, Korean 343p). For example, for 20 pages a week: Week 1 - read to page 20; Week 2 - read to page 40; and so on. How does that sound?
I guess the way I saw it is that because there are only 3 chapters, they’re also fairly long, and each chapter has a very different tone. But if we’re doing a more structured timeline, it doesn’t matter to me, I’ll adjust to whatever everyone else prefers!
Yeah, it sounds so terribly cheesy lol I was hoping they would change it if it got picked up but it’s already stuck because of the show/movies, it seems
How many pages per week are people comfortable with? We’ll probably go with a lowish number for the schedule, and those who want to read more can read ahead/go at their own pace.
If you’re happy following the schedule, when would you like to start?
I haven’t really bothered with making lists/flashcards up until now but I have an ebook so I can easily note any vocabulary/grammar that I think is more complicated than about N3ish, if that’ll help so you can focus on Korean – no clue how formatting that works though!
I won’t be joining you for the re read since I only just finished the last (interlude) book in the series recently, but I did start a rewatch of the TV series this week. I’ll definitely be with you in spirit.
