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.

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.

It's 70 pages :0 OF hell on earth reading.

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

I'm not in the book club but once i saw Heart of Darkness in the title i just had to come in here lol. I hated that book with a passion. We read it in high school and it was difficult for me to stay interested and keep along lol. It may be a good book, but it was a hard read for me. Granted that was a few years ago so maybe if i pick the book up now i'd think differently
