I'm back in good health and should start posting serious theory discussions instead of talking about football all the time.
Post ideas here. Upbearing comments will be interprebeared as an expression of interest.
It would be good etiquette to mention the length of the book, as it's relevant to choosing.
A few recommendations based on what seemed to make the earlier book clubs really cook:
After an initial post like this, choose 5 titles or so and make a poll, then give people enough time to find a copy of the text and start reading.
Sticky each post to the front page for the entire week until the next one.
@ every single user who commented on any previous book club discussion or meta-discussion like this in every post starting with the poll (or honestly this current thread). These are the users who are interested in reading and discussing, you don't want them to not know there's a new book club because they were touching grass on the wrong day.
Clearly state the reading goal a week ahead of time
Upload the text to perusal.com - I didn't use it but it seemed like other comrades really liked the interactive nature that everyone was leaving comments on the text itself? Honestly I don't exactly know how it works but that's what I gathered.
I'll try to join, I've read a few of the big texts suggested and am reading one of the others so I should be able to find some time to review my old notes
This is useful
please include me in the ping list
Yeah perusal was sooooo nice a couple years back. I read everything as a back catalogue when we were reading bookchin
This seems super useful.
Should that be perusall.com? I think your autocorrect dropped the second L
Yeah it should
