June 1book140 Reading Schedule: 'The Name of the Rose'

A few weeks ago we decided to read a Whodunnit for June. In a short, intense bit of voting, all y'all picked the Umberto Eco classic, The Name of the Rose. It may not be a traditional mystery, nor quite fit the profile of light, summer reading, but then, this is the reading group that tackled Kafka on the Shore and that most enigmatic of post modern tomes, Right Ho, Jeeves. In other words, I'm sure we're up for it.

Here is our discussion* schedule for June:

• June 1 - June 8: Discuss Part 1, tagging your tweets with the hashtag #1b140_1

• June 9 - June 15: Discuss Parts 2 and 3 at #1b140_2 and #1b140_3

• June 16 - June 22: Discuss Parts 4 and 5 at #1b140_4 and #1b140_5

• June 23 - June 20: Discuss Parts 6 and 7 at #1b140_6 and #1b140_7

And as always, happy reading, bookies.
