The Brothers Karamazov Deathmarch, Week 3
Welcome to Week 3! Things swung wildly last week from entertaining and amusing to, as noted in the thread, oft-horrifying/horrible. Whether you were looking for philosophical treatises, high drama, passion, children of unknown origin, or three different forms of confession,…
The Brothers Karamazov Deathmarch, Week 2
And just like that, it’s Week 2. It’s been fun to see so many people diving in. I can report that this is now, by far, our biggest DM to date. Promising news for the magnet industry! So OK, you’ve…

The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 18
Still reading, still consistently posting late, still about 100 pages behind. But still enjoying the book too, and that’s something. A big something. And now suddenly thinking that yes, in fact, I too may someday sip from a dishwasher-safe “I…
The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 17
I finally got my head back into the book and read 50 pages today, which means I’m only — yikes! — 100 pages behind. I did dig the hottentot attempt (remember that?). And you guys are all inspiring me with…
