Anyone else new to this and want to discuss/read it with me?

Do you mean actually discuss TWEM itself, or the books listed in it? I haven't gotten too far with the book list yet, but I'd be willing to chat about TWEM.

TWEM itself. I also would enjoy having someone else reading from the list(s) at the same time. I need the dialog and accountability. KWIM? I'm currently on chapter 5, but I did my reading at the park while watching my kiddos play. No telling how much I retained. :D

very slowly, aloud, and not in the order in the book. We're using the method, modified to fit us. It has been fantastic. I'm willing to discuss the books, but I have a bad memory and if I'm not currently reading something, it might be difficult. When I'm not homeschooling anymore, I'd love to do this with someone GRIN, like in a few years from now.

Alright, I'm in for talking about TWEM. :) Let me know how to proceed, as I've never done this before.

I've read the beginning parts of TWEM, plus most of the "how to read a novel" section.

I also took some notes on TWEM, according to TWEM's instructions.
