Having seen Greta Gerwig’s masterpiece adaptation of Little Women, I now crave a (re-)read of the original novel. It turns out I am not alone.
Starting March 1, let’s read about the Marches together! Come here to discuss the book, the adaptations, Louisa May Alcott, and whatever else strikes your fancy in relation to Little Women.
SCHEDULE
March 1–7: Chapters 1–12
March 8–14: Chapters 13-23 (end of Part One)
March 9–21: Chapters 24–36
March 22–28: Chapter 37–47 (end of Part Two)
How would folks like to structure the read-a-long? Hit particular chapter milestones together? Topsy turvy, you-do-you discussion? Something in between?
I like a schedule best for Discussion, but also recognize it might not be everyone’s preference.
If we do schedule, I was thinking maybe 12 chapters (they’re short, y’all, don’t worry) a week, discussed cumulatively? So first week is roughly 1–12, second week is 1–23 ie end of Part 1 ) etc. Cumulative discussion is a little more flexible and gives people that chance to come back to something a week later.
Thank you! I have my own copy… it’s just in a box at my parents’ house somewhere. My library doesn’t have an ebook and the physical book has, unsurprisingly, a long waiting list.
