Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't understand your first two questions, I'm sorry, and the third question is answered on /bookclub.html (which is linked to from this page).

1. Do authors of the books know about this and participate alongside in order to improve the second edition based on what you guys commented. 4. Have I insulated you in any way by asking these questions? If so - please take excuse.

1. Authors have sometimes participated in the reading yes.

4. Not at all. :)

Hey folks, this is the 7th book in a series of readings I run over Google Groups. There are about 1800 people in the group and 300-800 join each reading. While we often read books on database internals this one seems pretty relevant to any developer working on systems that scale. Hope to have you in the group! Also even if you don't want to join this particular reading, join the mailing list for the overall book club…

Have you considered creating collaboratively written Anki decks for each chapter of each book as you read them?

I have perfected the personal level of effort I'm interested in/capable of putting into this club. But anyone who participated is welcome to do whatever they'd like! Or you can also start your own club.

To the OP, as a participant in one of your previous reading groups and an organizer of similar groups:

What are your goals for these reading groups? How completely are you meeting them? "Goals" in a broad sense, anywhere from "motivating myself to read more" to "building a community of experts and friends."

Fair enough!

Hey, that sounds super cool. So I already put my stuff into the Google Forms. Will we get some invite, or how does this work?
