The Theory Desk

You are following the Slow Read, which begins with the Prologue on Saturday 10 October and reads a chapter a week. Read ahead? Choose the last chapter you have finished. The site hides anything from a chapter you have not reached; this is proof of reading, never of buying, and a library copy counts.

File what you think is going on as a case file. Cite the chapter and the line; the Desk checks the words against the book and says only yes or no.

Each Crossing Day the author stamps seven: KEPT, NOT KEPT or SEALED.
