A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD--Discussion Schedule

[Jim__]

2. Your schedule is fine with me; but I am curious.

Is there any reason we can't start the discussion on the first 100 pages now? The reason that I ask is that Jennifer Egan is a phenomenal writer. I"ll probably finish the first 100 pages tomorrow; and the rest of the book before the 25th. If we warn people that the discussion contains spoilers - the discussion of each section assumes that you have read the entire section - people could contribute when they completed the section; and know not to read the posts before that.

The reason I ask is that based on what I've read so far, my discussion of the first 100 pages will be significantly different after I've just read 100 pages than it will be after I've read, say, 200 pages. Every page changes my impression of the previous pages.

I am comfortable with your schedule. I do think people's views will differ depending on how much of the book they've read.
