I am about to go abroad for more than a month, departing next week (and will be travelling quite a bit) so I am not sure I will be able to do these weekly things. I should have internet most days I think, so I will still be responding to comments, but entries for new chapters will probably be sporadic. But do feel free to comment on past entries! The door is always open there.

From "The magician of Threadneedle-Street" to "The unlikely milliner".

Next week, from chapters 21-25 - unfortunately I did not actually look at the chapter layouts so we're going to do the last two chapters of the first volume and then three of the next, in one week. Oops. From "The cards of Marseilles" into Volume II's "Another magician". Apologies again for the delays!

From chapters "Lady Pole" to "The Spirit of English Magic urges Mr Norrell to the Aid of Britannia".

Next week will be chapters 13-16.

Also for the record, there is really interesting discussion happening on both the dreamwidth and livejournal posts--feel free to pop over and/or comment on both, if you like; anonymous commenting is always on, and OpenID works too.

Oops, I forgot to mention it in the last post--I'll do chapters 5-8 on Sunday. As always, respond when you can/want!

I'll put up a post every Sunday, I think! I make no promises on the time though; I'm so bad at that but I'll try to aim for morning (Eastern Standard Time or whatever idiocy we're currently on, Daylight Savings Eastern Time??)

To the people on my flist who are not interested, and because this will be a recurring thing--I am very sorry! On LJ I have tagged these entries "js&mn book club" so you can modify your friend settings re: me and choose not to see any posts with the tag. (Go to "modify friends" on my profile, select "exclude tag"). ETA: nou has pointed out that DW does have nifty similar features! Go to http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/subscriptions/filters, select a filter, and exclude/include tags! (Among other things, if you have a paid journal.)

Chapter 1-4 for March 30, then! ("The Library at Hurtfew" to "The Friends of English Magic")And I will reply to comments for as long as the conversation goes on generally, so if you can't finish by Sunday or conked out or whatever, I'm happy to talk about it with you on Friday.
