\nAnd 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!
\nSo OK, you’ve bought the book and you’ve read a few chapters. Which is awesome. But don’t get overconfident. I agree (so far) with the ‘marchers who’ve said this is more of a treat than a slog. Book 2 in particular started to downright zip along. But could it be that the very enjoyability<\/i> of the read (so far) turns out to be the thing that gets you to let your guard down? to put the book aside for a day, then two? Be vigilant, ‘march-mates! There’s a long road ahead with tens of thousands of pages left for us to read (collectively) afore we’re through.
\nOn a less overwhelming note, there’ve been a few questions about how to know when the next thread is up. And I can report that it’ll always be Wednesday, usually (hopefully) by 2 pm PST. Some other tips:
\n* if you want to jump straight to the deathmarch page to see where things are at (rather than going to the site’s home page) you can find that here<\/b><\/a>.
\n* If you use an RSS reader you can also subscribe to the site here<\/a><\/b> to see when the latest post has gone live.
\n* I also announce each week’s post in my poem-of-the-not-quite-every-day mailing list, which features short poetry by Levertov, Snyder, Brautigan, Li Po, Oppen, and other swell poetry-folks. If that interests ya, just send me a note<\/a><\/b>.
\nLooking forward to the next stretch of the trail. Merry ‘marching all…
\n-Cecil
\nNext Wednesday:<\/b> Let’s meet up at the end of Book Three, Chapter 5, where I’m told “there will be no horror.”
\n(which is to say: please use this Week 2 thread for comments on pages 0-122; aim to finish reading that section and shout out here by end o’ day Tuesday)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
