Okay folks, seems as if there's enough interest that I won't feel sad and lame being at a party by myself. How about this: some of you had to order the book. So let's say that on 2023-10-04 we discuss the first chunk -- part 1 of the book, ending on page 57. On Wednesday the 4th, I'll make a new post with some initial seed thoughts, and then we'll just see where it goes and people can talk about whatever the spirit moves them to talk about. (But hopefully anchored on the relevant section of the book.)
Given the various constraints (people's time, the interesting-ness of the topic, the applicability of the topic to things we all care about, the discussion board medium) I think it will be more fun to bite off relatively smaller chunks and hash them out in more detail. But let's see how it goes in practice -- it's an experiment! We'll probably learn a lot of stuff, and a lot of meta-stuff, too.
I'll @ people who gave an explicit yes so they notice the next posts in the series, so it doesn't scroll off the screen and you miss it. If you want that kind of notification, make sure to indicate below. Or you can DM me? (Does SN have DMs?) and I'll add you to the "manual notification" list. Actually: I'll update my bio to contain the book club links, so that will be a place you can always look. (If anyone has suggestions of how to do it better / more elegantly, please let me know!)
Excited to try this with you all!
I’m in. Happy to be @ …. For announcements. Have they done a colouring book version for idiots like me though….? politicians may find it useful as well I guess..
