Over the last year or two, a loose cabal of aliased co-conspirators has been using this site to tackle challenging books en masse — everything from the dread pirate Gravity’s Rainbow<\/i><\/a> to the surprisingly Spanish Don Quixote.<\/i><\/a> We call these experiences “Deathmarches,”<\/a> despite the increasingly rabid protestation of my erstwhile nemesis, Itto Ottagami.
\nThe fifth in this series — “The To the Lighthouse Deathmarch” — is comin’ ’round the bend, and I thought I’d take this moment to extend an open invitation.
\nHow It Works<\/b>
\nAs you may have guessed, this time out we’re reading Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse<\/i>. (More specifically, I’ll be reading the HBJ hardcover edition, available on Amazon<\/a>.)
\nWe do this in small bites — 40-60 pages a week. Every Wednesday starting 10\/18, I’ll post an entry up here on ye olde cecilvortex.com<\/a> letting folks know how far we’re aiming to read that week. In the days that follow, folks comment on the thread. These comments range from “I like donuts” to “[insert sophisticated literary analysis here].” And are all comments are viewed as equal in the eyes of el cabal.
\nUp to 30 Deathmarchers who make it to the end of the book and post a comment every week get prizes — in this case, prizes that tap the awesome power of magnetic energy. I can’t tell you more than that because it’s a really big surprise. OK. I give. They’re magnets.
\nSo, all that said, if reading a book by Virginia Woolf and quite possibly gaining partial control over one of the most powerful forces in nature has any appeal to you, you’ve almost certainly come to the right place. Any questions, just drop me a line at deathmarch@cecilvortex.com<\/a>.
\nHope to see you out on the trail,
\n-Cecil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
