If you are up for the idea, how would you like to see something like that structured? I read a lot and would love to discuss.

    Didn’t we have one? I’m pretty sure the book of the month is Project Hail Mary.

    (Anyway, I like the idea.)

      Yes we did, but then they kicked the old admin for not liking Sync, and i guess the new admin wants to make it seem like their idea for starting it up again? IDK…it’s a bit weird to ask this question, since it was already there before.

    I am interested if only to help pick out which audiobook I listen to next on my commute.

    I think we would need to do some kind of poll for the pace people would want. A chapter a week, a book a month, or something in between?

      I agree with helping pick an audiobook, but also that it would help me stay focused and disciplined in making progress. I often switch to podcasts when I’m having trouble paying attention.

    I’ll plug the [email protected] community. Two months in and last months read was Iain Banks Player of Games and this months is Winter World by A.G. Riddle. Usually have a vote thread 6 weeks before the end of the month to pick a new one.

    I think this is a great idea, however I am not sure how this would be structured. Possibly treat it like an AMA regarding timing and create live discussion once a week or two weeks?

      The threads would also live on, which would be nice for someone several months later to read and comment in the “Act 1” thread. Having a thorough discussion would then help attract more “live” readers.
