>to a new thread each day dedicated to each chapter.
fair enough.

>>19784771
one daily thread about one chapter is okay i think, just make sure to put the chapter being discussed on the thread's title so we'd know beforehand

that’s more than doubling the amount of time to get through this tome but that’s alright

what chapter would we be on today then

>>19785273
I figure Chapter Sixish if everyone's been following along at the pace originally set. Let's say Chapter 5 for the sake of allowance.
I want this reading to club to succeed, but it's difficult finding a good pace which everyone can get on board with while simultaneously being able to get as much out of every thread as possible.

Gentlemen, I would like to join you. I have some catching up to do first, I suppose, although only five chapters, which should be surmountable.

No worries. I too have had the great misfortune of being behind schedule and have found myself on the third chapter, but in these troubling times, it is important to remember the wise old adage, "For I may be knocked down. I am sure to arise again. Thou art never gonna keep me down. Pour me a whiskey, and a vodka drink, bar wench."

I admire this endeavor you are all on. I went to Barnes and Nobles and 2 Goodwills looking for a copy of this book and couldn't find it. I don't want to read this as an ebook but I'll give it a shot. Idk if I'll catch up but maybe it'll pull me in and it'll be a breeze or not. Regardless, I wish everyone a good time and am happy to prepare myself better for the next book.

It's certainly easy to see how he got people hooked into reading it every, two weeks? I don't remember how often an episode came out.

>>19787071
Don't worry about it I also don't have a physical copy and haven't started on the pdf I downloaded the day before yesterday, we will catch up with them at the weekend.

Winkle is the true chad. Man agreed to a duel he knew he didn't warrant just to show how much of a chad he was.

kek, he's my favorite so far. Also, why is Mr. Snodgrass's characterization so poor compared to his fellows?

>>19788580
I don't know, but I loved his exchange with Winkle before the duel.

>>19788306
>asked the reason he agreed to a duel he didn't warrant
>'because, sir, you described an intoxicated and ungentlemanly person as wearing a coat, which I have the honour, not only to wear, but to have invented – the proposed uniform, sir, of the Pickwick Club in London. The honour of that uniform I feel bound to maintain, and I therefore, without inquiry, accepted the challenge which you offered me.’

Too bad our world isn't more honorable like that one. It's more similar to Mos Eisley.

>>19788670
i believe Japanese society still respect honors and manners, especially amongst boomers

>>19789143
I sincerely doubt that a japanese boomer would agree to a duel to the death if you really challenged one

>>19788351
thank you sir

I've finished the first chapter.

That's rare. It's still a good way to keep knuckle heads in order.
