It will take a while to get through Broken Money at the pace we're going -- a few months, assuming people continue to care enough to show up to it. I don't have plans after that, though I expect I'll have a lot of insights from the experience and will have some new ideas.
You probably knew this, but just in case any reader doesn't: I have no formal existence as the SN Book Club Guy or any such thing -- I just thought this book was worthy of a deep exploration and SN might be a good place to do it. Anyone who is similarly moved can just jump in and seize the day.
The only advice I'd have for anyone is that it's actually a fair amount of work, so you might want to put up a test balloon (by posting, soliciting in the Saloon, etc.) to see if there's an appetite for your book given what's going on. Stackers are busy, so some of them might not have the time. But they're also very generous (thanks again to two especially generous stackers!) so you never know :)
Sounds great. Maybe I can play catch-up and grab myself a copy of Lyn’s book then. Getting FOMO from all the discussion, even though I enjoy reading at my own pace.

You should totally grab the book -- I very consciously set an extraordinarily modest pace, partly for purely selfish reasons (I read very slowly) and partly to be maximally friendly for busy people.
This week (and going forward) I also tried to make it friendlier to people who haven't read the book, but care about the issues and want to discuss them. It's a fine line to walk, obviously, but I think there's enough context for people who haven't read the book to make sense of. So don't let it stop you if you haven't read it!

As a fellow slow reader, I appreciate the pace. I also really appreciate all the effort you put into the discussion prompts merely as a thinking-enjoyeerrr.
I wouldn't be immediately setting aside the time to read the book were it not for the book club. Also
  1. the book is much much better than I imagined
  2. the discussion makes the book far more alive for me than simply reading the text
