What format? I've been trying to find a Kindle version, since I keep forgetting to actually buy this book when I'm in Russia. Like you, it's been on my reading list so let's give 'er a go.

I found it on the iBooks app. I’m just starting to read it today. I got the worst case of the flu which left me drained, now recovering and able to start doing something that requires some mental energy.

I hope to be finished with Metro 2033 by the end of this week. Where are we suppose to post discussions about it? In this thread or a different one?

Note from an educator and former ESL/test skills tutor: Any learner, including self-learners, can use the CEFR for self-assessment. The CEFR is for helping learners progress and not for gatekeeping and bullying.

I've not been active in this thread so I'm not sure. If two threads are needed, that's perfectly fine too!

Mista wrote:Ok, so as we were talking about on the other thread, I started a new thread for the book club, in the hope that it will be easier to find and clearer what we are doing. Unfortunately, that means a little bit of hassle in the process of moving over, my apologies for that. Here's the link:

https://forum.language-learners.org/vie ... 21&t=10009

I hope everyone can just go over there and follow it straight away, so you get notified when people start posting. ...

Since Mista has started the new thread, I am happy to end this one. I have edited the first post to more accurately reflect the nature of this thread as being the FORMER book club thread. Please close the thread in order to avoid confusion.
