The new Cervantes "plan" for Bellezza and me and hopefully you and Amanda if time permits is to start reading <em>DQ</em> "soon" and to check back in in January or February to see how things are going. As flexible and vague a readalong timetable as ever evented but a stress-free one for all concerned all the same!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-73835125718574212382014-11-09T17:38:31.321-05:002014-11-09T17:38:31.321-05:00Thanks, Richard.

I regret that my comment may have pushed you to abandon the DQ group read, but feel somewhat reassured that you were going to find it a "rush" too. Hopefully you can resurrect this when everyone is better placed in terms of ability to devote time to it. seraillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654593356535433945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-81816523592507890242014-11-06T20:00:08.447-05:002014-11-06T20:00:08.447-05:00Scott, welcome back from your vacation and thanks ...Scott, welcome back from your vacation and thanks for checking in. Since everybody--including me--seems to have competing reading priorities or just not enough time right now, I think I'll call off the official readalong after all and just reread <em>DQ</em> at my leisure when the spirit moves me. It's too good a book to rush, and I want no part in pressuring any <em>DQ</em> first-timers to rush through the book for the sake of a group read commitment that was made months ago. Anyway, it's kind of a relief for me that you and Amanda have said similar things in back to back days; this will open up more time for Argentinean and French books for me in November and December, and I'd already proven what a flaky group read host I was earlier in the year anyway so no worries on that account.

I'd planned to get a head start with <i>Don Quixote</i> while traveling last month, but lack of room in my bag meant that it had to be jettisoned at the last moment. I'll see what I can do, though! seraillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654593356535433945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-86317844144127297872014-11-06T17:46:04.940-05:002014-11-06T17:46:04.940-05:00Following Quiroga with Lugones is not only logical...Following Quiroga with Lugones is not only logical but methodical, Tom.

I'll pass on Don Quixote, if you don't mind, as I'm already committed to another couple of readalongs in December.
