Post #99 » by **dockingsched** » Sat Jan 19, 2013 3:45 pm

voting is pretty much over, with one voter left and heart of darkness wnning by 3, its time to call it.

dub81 · Post #100 » by **dub81** » Sat Jan 19, 2013 4:37 pm

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.

EArl · Post #101 » by **EArl** » Sat Jan 19, 2013 6:06 pm

I say we start and doc makes the deadline. Also post discussion in this page in spoilers

Post #102 » by **dockingsched** » Sat Jan 19, 2013 6:28 pm

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.

I remember reading this book in high school and using the spark notes as a supplement. The book was good nonetheless!
