#whartonbuddyread

Who is up for Hermione Lee‘s biography of Edith Wharton? It‘s a chunkster (pictured above next to a 6 lb cat for size). While the book has 900 pages, many are notes. So a mere 760 pages of narrative. Comment if you want to join.

Proposed discussion schedule:

January 24: Chapters 1-4
January 31: Chapters 5-8
February 7: Chapters 9-11
February 14: Chapters 12-14
February 21: Chapters 15-17
February 28: Chapters 18-20

Currey @Graywacke and other #chunksterJunior readers. Yes, I will join you 3d

Graywacke @TheBookHippie no pressure. It‘s a commitment (although i think i spread out enough to be easy) 3d

Graywacke @Currey ❤️ I‘m happy you‘re joining. #chunksterjunior will be our new tag. 🙂 3d

TheBookHippie @Graywacke oh for sure!!! 3d

BookishTrish If I can get my hands on a copy… 3d

Graywacke @BookishTrish fantastic. There are ebook options, if you can‘t find the physical book. 3d

CarolynM I intended to join you with the autobiography but life got in the way. I don‘t feel like I can commit to this, but I‘ll look forward to reading your thoughts about it. 2d

dabbe Your lovely buddy read is now on the new #LELH (#LitsyEventsLittleHelper) spreadsheet! 🤩

@LitsyEvents 2d

Graywacke @dabbe does that make us official? 🙂 Thanks. (edited) 2d

dabbe @Graywacke Not really. It's (hopefully) just nice to have all of these events on one document so one doesn't have to doomsday scroll to find anything. IMHO of course. 🤓 2d

Graywacke @dabbe it‘s an impressive list. 👍 Thanks for sharing 2d

PageShifter I have this on hold now... But is this too spoilery for someone who hasn't read Wharton's books? 2d

Graywacke @PageShifter well, I don‘t know. I like to imagine she will make you want to read Wharton‘s novels. But she must also talk about plots. I think you need to decide what you‘re comfortable with. Of course, if you‘re indecisive and want my advice, I‘m going to encourage you to come join us. 🙂 2d

PageShifter Thank you for answering 🥰 If I just have time I am going to join! 2d

Graywacke @PageShifter ❤️ 1d

PageShifter I got my copy from the library and it's HUGE 🤣🤣 1d

Graywacke @PageShifter it‘s a door stopper! I paced it out. 100 pages a week, if you follow the discussion schedule. I think it makes it a lot less intimidating. 16h

PageShifter It really does! 14h
