Welcome to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Reading Group. We will have many opportunities for discussion. Each week the mods will post questions to help start discussion. You do not have to answer all or even any of the questions. Feel free to comment on other people’s comments, simply post your thoughts on the chapter, or ask your own questions.
If you have read the book before, please be careful when answering the questions so as not to give anything away. Try to answer the questions based on what is known so far in the story and not based on what you know from reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader or other works by Lewis. If you need to talk about something from a future chapter or another work of fiction by Lewis, put it in spoilers. Also, be aware that there are American and British versions so some differences may arise.
We are planning on reading and discussing 1 chapter a week. We will post questions for the first chapter July 1st. Unless you hear otherwise, assume that a chapter’s worth of questions will be posted each Wednesday. You do not have to keep up with the group. As long as the threads are unlocked you are free to post in them. The reading group will be open until we post a closing notice. We also will post a closing notice well in advance of the actual close date. The reading group will likely last at least a year.
For this reading group we are adding an incentive and competitive option. This is completely optional. Head over to the Achievements thread for more details.
This thread is open for questions and/or comments.

We have reached the halfway mark so now seems like a good time to pause and catch our breaths. Chapter 9 questions will be posted next week. Feel free to use this time to post in other threads.
