Don't see a thread for the book. Y'all ready? It's such an easy read I should be finished in a couple days...But that beginning..not for the faint of heart!

Yep, that’s exactly what I was referring to. I’m just on chapter 10 reading the ebook and about to head out right this second to get a physical copy. I’ll be ready by Sunday though.

in a few days. Is anyone interested in buddy reading this with me?"I'd like to join. Never done a buddy read before--do we come back here to discuss it? Do we have assigned dates/pages? Trying to get a feel for how this works.

When are you able to start?
Mod
I think I could start in about a week? I just need to get the book... maybe 8/6? How does that sound?"
That’ll be great. Let me know when you get it and we can work together on a reading schedule.

Perfect, I shall do that. Hey, I got the italics right this time lol."

Oh, I'm sorry I missed the updates on this thread! I'm still interested in Luster.I'm also interested in reading "Sorrowland" by Rivers Solomon if anybody wants to do a Buddy Read on that one!

If anyone would like to buddy read The Fantasies of Future Things beginning at or around June 3rd let me know.
Hi everyone, I'm here to propose a buddy read of Whitehead's Harlem Shuffle ahead of our official book of the month for August, Crook Manifesto, whose thread is here.The group already has a (rather lively) discussion for Harlem Shuffle here.
I'll be starting Harlem Shuffle next week when my library hold hopefully comes in, so count me in.

I’m due to pick up my physical copy from the library today (Wed). But, I decided to check out Libby (since I never use it) and lo and behold there was a copy available. I’m inside chap 3 and there’s already lots to talk about. Goodness!
