sholio: book with pink flower (Book & flower)
I was talking to someone about this book today and thinking about doing a reread or readalong or book discussion kind of thing. Anyone else up for that?

If so, what kind of discussion do you think would be fun? Just a single discussion post once people have had a chance to read it? Chapter by chapter might take too long, but the book is divided into sections, so those might be a nice way to break it down if we didn't do it all at once.

Ideas are welcome! What kind of book discussions have you seen or participated in lately that worked for you?

Since there is interest in a discussion and/or readalong for Watership Down, how shall we do it? Check all that would work for you.

When should the discussion start?

How should we do the discussion?

EDIT: So apparently, not only can you not edit polls after they're posted, you can't add a second poll in the same post. That being the case, there's a question I forgot to add:

If we do multiple posts or comment threads devoted to specific chapters or sections, should we avoid spoilers for future chapters/sections so we won't spoil people reading the book for the first time, or should all the posts and comments allow discussion of the whole book?

Let me know your feelings on that in the comments.
