Welcome to the home and probably only thread for:

which the Natively Non-Fiction Book Club is reading.

Please note:

Due to the nature of this book I don’t believe spoiler alerts are necessary, but still make sure to write where you are when you discuss things since you want to give context for people to know what you’re talking about and where to look for it.

Unless there are a lot of people reading along, I plan to keep the whole read-through in a single thread, rather than one thread per week: it’s much less effort to manage that way, and avoids sad little threads with just one or two comments.

I’m very excited, this has been on my TBR list for a while!

So, what pace do we want to read this at? This is a Natively L35 book with 275 pages. It has a まえがき, a 序章, nine main chapters which are typically 20 to 30 pages long with three subsections each, a 最終章 and an あとがき. So it should be easy to find breakpoints that fit our chosen pace.

Please select all the speeds that you would be happy reading at:

  • Slower than 10-15 pages a week
  • One chapter every two weeks (10-15 pages, likely 20-22 weeks total)
  • One chapter a week (20-30 pages, total 11 weeks)
  • More than one chapter a week (up to 40 pages a week)
  • Two chapters a week (50+ pages a week)
