@[email protected] -- if you're still interested in getting conversations going here, might I suggest asking a couple questions in your posts (in addition to the link+summary)? Just something to help prompt discussion. I tried to go back and add comments chapter by chapter with thoughts on them, but struggled to find things to say that weren't just me nitpicking the writing... I'll never catch up at my current pace, and I don't think that'd be much fun to read either, honestly.
I wasn't on the subreddits that inspired this place, so I don't know what people discussed there, but I see you posting these every week and don't want to leave you hanging!
