I have read the first several chapters of this book and adore it, but I ran out of time to finish it before the close of 2011. Happily, Connie & Ingrid from The Blue Bookcase will be reading it throughout January!
There will be four discussions. I have no idea if I can post for each, but if I read 20 pages a day throughout January, I’ll keep up. So, I plan to.
Here’s the reading schedule:
Jan 12: Chapters 1-28
Jan 19: Chapters 29-55
Jan 26: Chapters 56-93
Feb 2: Chapter 94-epilogue
I love this novel, as I keep saying. Can’t wait to make it a priority. 
The reading starts January 5, and readers meet every Thursday in January to discuss.
Moby!

YAYYY! I can’t wait for all your insightful thoughts on this book! I’m extremely excited to read it, and I’m so glad you want to join us! Also … is that snow falling down the side of your blog? Haha. I like it.
Ha – yes, snow!!
I was super-excited when I saw you and Connie are reading this in January. I can’t wait!
Oh man, I’m going to have to think about this. I’ve been wondering if 2012 would be the perfect year for the whale, but I hadn’t decided. This might just be the excuse I needed!
DO IT!
This is such a good one…if it wasn’t for the pile of Shakespeare I am going to conquer, I would totally join in again.
But I look forward to seeing what you guys make of it!
I really, really like what I’ve read so far. I’m excited this readalong starts in January!
Ah, I’d love to join this one too, but I’m afraid I already reached my reading limit for January. I can’t wait to hear what you think of the rest of it though
I don’t know how I’m going to make time for it.
AH! I so want to join in. Moby Dick is my April book club read. But with Shakespeare and Dickens in January, I probably won’t get it picked up next month. Ah well, do enjoy
Thanks! I’ve already read some of this book and enjoy it indeed. Great story.
