Could all the unspoiled ones please check in and give me an status update on the books, if you already have or if you are still waiting. I'd like to get started.

Yes, I am impatient.

Gillio, are you joining aswell? Did you already read some of the books?

Waiting for Alex Baratheon, Fragile Bird and King Euron Greyjoy to give us an update on their status so we can create a spoiler-policy get this started.

I would like to read the books too. I already have an electronic english version of the book but I would like to find a translated one or maybe buy a paper one .

Also i have a lot of things to do next weeks (the exams are starting) so i don't know how much i'll be able to read. Anyway if I'll get started I'll let you know.

We got 46 chapters in The Blade Itself. Perhaps we can do two chapters a day, starting tomorrow? I got a schedule in the spoilertag, including chapter titles, but they don't contain any spoilers as far as I know.

Explanation: the dates correspond with the chapters you read that day, the day after you'll be allowed to discuss them without spoilertags. Example: you read The End and The Survivors on Monday, and you can discuss them on Tuesday.

I suggest to be quicker. Who takes a month to read a book, if it is interesting?

I agree, I could manage up to four chapters (or more), just let me know what others think. Should we be quicker?

Do we have to have 2 chapters a day? I have exams for the next two weeks, and a few other people do to from what I've heard. I liked the idea of 100-150 pages a week better.

2 chapters a day equals about 150 pages a week.

Sounds amazing gang! But I am determined to finish Dreamsongs V1 and V2 before I start anything else. Joe Abercrombie's books sound good though! Are any of his stories in Warriors? That's the next thing I'm planning. I've been far away from short stories for far too long. I had forgotten the delights of reading anthologies.
