Seriously guys, use the list so we can all stay abreast of discussions! Also, please add yourselves to the list if you are participating, or let me know and I can add you, whatever.

11 days early wasoxygen? 11 days? I understand, though in the title, it would be great if for early posts on discussion, we could let each other know that there are spoilers.

We can now also use #spoileralert

I HAVE THE PDF

I understand that I have slightly over a week to read part 1. That begins now.

humanodon  ·  4157 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Don't we have the ability to use magnet links or something now?

user-inactivated  ·  4157 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I know not of what you speak.

humanodon  ·  4157 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yeah, so I guess we can post torrent links directly to comments, is what I'm saying. You know, if you wanted to publicly share that PDF copy.

Can't remember where exactly I got it but I used this handy thing that someone on reddit put together. This'll probably help with all future reading group books as well.

humanodon  ·  4156 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That's pretty cool!

thenewgreen  ·  4157 days ago  ·  link  ·  

yes, we do. I have no idea how to do it, but yes :)

thenewgreen  ·  4155 days ago  ·  link  ·  

At first I wasn't sure what to think of this book, I'm not far into it only about 25 pages, but I'm starting to enjoy it. Looking forward to reading more and discussing.

insomniasexx  ·  4156 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Hey, can you take a picture of the last paragraph or two of the end of part one. I have a not-so-paginated pdf-> kindle version. It tells me I'm at 12% or location 1962 or 15626. :P

I have some notes I took this weekend, so I'll type those up and forumlate my thoughts but I want to make sure not to dance into section two since we're all trying to keep this organized.

I'm really enjoying it so far. Thank goodness kindle has the select & define feature because my vocabulary is evidently not up to par.

wasoxygen  ·  4154 days ago  ·  link  ·  

In my Kindle copy, Part 2 begins at 18%, Location 2835 of 15639.

Part 3 begins at 25%, Location 3952.

Part 4, 39%, Location 6091.

Part 5, 70%, Location 10943.

If the table of contents is not linked, you can search for "the part about" to locate the section headings.

Perfect. Thanks so much!

SPOILERS in the image

I've got a hard copy, so I'm not sure where exactly those coordinates fall. Here's a scan of the last two pages of part 1. Sorry for the quality, but it's a big book and all I've got is a little scanner.

insomniasexx  ·  4155 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That's perfect!

Thanks!

humanodon  ·  4155 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Cool, no problem.

insomniasexx  ·  4155 days ago  ·  link  ·  

spoiler

We should add the spoiler tag as a reminder to people / future discussions -

it's text surrounded in ~'s

humanodon  ·  4155 days ago  ·  link  ·  

You know, all I get when I do that is a greyed-out box, which I then have to highlight to read. Is that how it's supposed to work?

insomniasexx  ·  4155 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yes. So instead of yelling SPOILER you just hide it and people have to consciously highlight it to read the text.

humanodon  ·  4155 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ah ok. I think that image is small enough in-comment not to give anything away, but I wanted to make sure that people who hadn't reached that point would know not to click it. I had thought of sending it via PM, but I imagine that others might have the same problem with their copies that you did.

insomniasexx  ·  4155 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I wasn't intending it just for the image, just for future discussions regarding the text, we should remember to remind people to use the spoiler tag. It just popped into my head.
