I hadn't gotten there yet in the Annotated; fascinating! I hadn't thought about the discounted purchasing. Didn't realize they did that back then.

I brought this up at the beginning of the discussion and was completely ignored.

The moderators need to flag which folders cover which specific chapters and be vigilant about moving spoilers.

Otherwise, as happened at the old BNU, new readers are going to get mad and not want to participate.

But I imagine I'm going to continue to get ignored, so don't hold your breath.

I thought this was a discussion about the early part of the book, and it's my first time reading P&P, but I'm unsure what early chapters means. There's a spoiler in this discussion regarding a marriage. Is it possible to determine what "early chapters" are? I thought I was safe to come in, since I'm in V.2 Ch. 14, almost halfway, and it could have gone either way for a first time reader...

JesseBC - I agree whole heartedly with you and hope you aren't ignored. this was my first time in an online book club and thought I too would be safe in an 'Early Chapters' discussion but I did give up about half way through for two reasons. first there were spoilers and second it was very hard to keep track of at times. - Too many discussions going on and it got confusing. I might try another in the future but not too soon. . thanks for voicing this concern for us.
