Gotcha. In the first post it sounded like you were thinking of maybe reading a few chapters and then meeting to discuss, rinse repeat. I could do a monthly meeting. If it's more often than that, probably not. I'll go ahead and vote and then see how it goes.

 

Yes, I was thinking of a weekly meetings to discuss the chapters, but I think it would depend on the book for how many chapters we could read before each meeting. For example, Skyward would probably go a lot faster than some of the other options.

I also wouldn't mind starting a discord group, because I rarely go to the forums and they sometimes seem buggy to me. 

Thanks for putting the poll together, @Randal Arin! I was a bit behind things and he volunteered to help me out over discord.

As for time to meet and reading pace, I think it depends on the book and how long it will be.  A lot of great suggestions on books so it's a hard choices to make for sure! 

Thanks everyone! I'll add the vote tomorrow for people to select the book. I want to do a weighted poll so that we since there are a lot of options and this will give you a chance to pick your top 3.

Hi everyone,

I love reading and after chatting with @Randal Arin, we thought it would be great to start up this book club since it doesn't seem to be used recently.  I'll try and organize the first book of the month for reading, but want to do a a survey to vote on what book we want to cover. 

Please update what book you want to add to the survey and I'll send out the survey on Feb 25th and give people until Feb 28th to vote on what book they want to read. We will break the book down into chapters once we decide on the book we will read together and meet either in discord (voice) or through the interest group if you cannot make the meeting time to discuss the chapters we had assigned.

The book I'll be adding to the vote will be the new book out by Christopher Paolini.  This was the author of Eragon and the Inheritance Cycle, but he's all grown up now!  Warning: This book is not a children's book (I read a sample from Amazon).  The book is called "To Sleep in a Sea of Stars".

Please let me know if you have any questions!  Thanks.

Also, if anyone know how to @ the book club members, let me know.  Thanks!

I think I should be available to help out with whatever.   

Deeps, willing to drop. 

I should be able to come, but can't update spreadsheet right now.

@Telana- I can bring my healer if needed.   

I signed up as backup.  I thought that meant that if roster is full, I'll be backup.  If not full, I'll join the roster.

What else does backup mean?   

Oops, I totally forgot to change my status after the reset.   

These are great, @orbitoclast!  Do you have a recap on the second and third boss for those that weren't there last week?     

I'll sign up as backup DPS.   

Hi @orbitoclast,

Can you add/link the CP allocation you think would be good for us to use for survival on this trial?   

DPS or heals.  

DPS, but willing to drop. 

DPS or heals, but let's chat on which class I should focus on to complement the trial group.   

I'm currently working with my Stam warden and can use ice heart for survival.

Note:  Also willing to drop if needed to make room for others with better survival/DPS.

I voted based solely on the skin (vHoF)!
