Jonathan Strange and Tor.com

Kate Nepveu is starting a reread of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell over on Tor.com. I have never read Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, although I quite like typing it.
I cannot explain my unusual laxness in allowing this book to slip past my view. I love Regency fantasy. It is Regency fantasy. And yet…
And yet I just never got around to picking it up. Perhaps the cover? It doesn’t exactly fill one with awe.
Perhaps I just never had a good reason. Whatever the case, I have been remiss and I intend to correct that now.
So, I shall start the reread along with Ms. Nepveu.
The schedule is as follows:

1. October 10, 2014: chapters 1 to 4
2. October 17, 2014: chapters 5 to 10
3. October 24, 2014: chapters 11 to 16

I will be posting my own thoughts on the chapters on the same schedule as the Tor.com discussion. Are any of you planning to read along? If you’ve already read the book I’d love to hear your opinions about it.
