Re: The Finer Things Book Club - now reading Heart of Darkne

Postby dub81 on Sat Jan 19, 2013 11:37 am

So it's official? Heart of darkness??

If so i'm about to order it on the ipad...

So we should at the very lest have a month to read the book. I'm a full time student plus I'm in the military so the only time I have to really read it is during lunch and before I hit the sack at night.

yeah, its officially heart of darkness.

deadline will be end of February. of course if we all finish ahead of time we don't have to wait.

and yeah, if you want to discuss the book as you read it, spoiler precautions will be needed. i'll post details in the OP later on.
