Let’s restart the book club!

I think instead of picking one book and sticking with it we should post what we are currently reading and do book report threads.

The goal is to create recommendations on what to read and hopefully one of the other members will read and add to the thread.

I have a few ideas but nothing firm, please add some more ideas

  1. Biweekly Short Story Club - Pick a short story and read it and post discussion in the threads

  2. Monthly themes?

  3. A standard book club report template?

  4. Don’t change anything and just restart?

Let me know what you think!

      it would be happy to hear your thoughts if you read it, or have read it, once the month comes around. That said, it finds that convincing people to be vegan has gotten easy enough, and it usually has very little to do with forming good arguments or whatever. Where a lot of vegans seem to be lacking is the rest of the strategy. Okay, you’ve convinced a few folks to be vegan. Now what? Tons of different vegan organizations have tried developing their own strategies, like Anonymous for the Voiceless, or Vegan Effective Altruist orgs, or DxA, and their failures are well-documented. So what should we try instead, knowing that those are dead ends?

      But that’s just its own interest. it’s happy to hear about what others end up reading or what they make of it.
