A while ago I made a post regarding starting up another mega thread. Is anyone still interested in following through with this idea? I suggested the book Beatha Theobald Wolfe Tone, which was suggested to me by David, but if anyone else has any other suggestions I'm all ears.

I bought this book a while ago, quite a thick tome

Great idea! That's why I bought the book actually.
As of other suggestions, to put it baldly: no. Most people interested in the thread seem to have got the book. And it's quite a tome as Labhrás pointed out, so it will be a while till we wolf it down.

Great! So now all there is to do is work out how we should go about studying. How should we go about notes, etc. Do we want to take turns analysing chapters/go all at once or have one person do it; what should we do for the actual notes, e.g. analysing chapters in a doc/posting a list of notes on the thread, etc.

I would like to finish this book. I would like us to agree to read eg 1 page or 2 pages a day with questions posted only on those pages. Noting of course that the English original of the book is available on archive.org

David, just clarifying, are you saying that we read at most 1-2 pages a day or at least?

It depends on vocabulary to look up, but I think at first it would need to be taken slowly. How many pages do you think?

Not sure. I've only read the translator's note so far. I'm wondering if maybe we should divide the chapters into sections as we go along? We could start the thread and just see where it takes us?

I read the first few pages and reading very slowly and checking the English translation more times than necessary it took me ~6 min to read one page (at approx. 450 words per page). 2 pages a day sounds reasonable and managable by all, but even so, I'd vote for starting with just 1.
I'm not sure how to go about about dictionary lookup, which is bound to be the most time consuming part, and how to make it "efficient".

This all sounds very manageable. Should we start with the author's note or jump straight into the first chapter?
