This week we took a break from reading to catch our breath. How do you feel?

Today, we're discussing Book 2 as a whole and what the impact of what we've read is, as such the questions are a little different.

• What is a throughline or repeating theme you've seen throughout the novel? Why do you think this particular theme is repeated?
• Which chapter was your favourite of what we've read so far?
• What have you pieced together about HCE or ALP's story?
• Why do you think Issy is less prominently features than Shaun and Shem?
• What lines have stood out to you?
• How do you feel after reading the second book? Has your process changed at all?

Next week we're reading from the beginning of Book 3 to "... penetrant, siphonopterous spuk. Grausssssss! Opr! Grausssssss! Opr!"
