A couple of quick housekeeping things to start:

  • Here are tags for everyone who said they were interested in the club in case they're set up to get an orangered when mentioned: /u/bobby4470, /u/undercoverballer, /u/Illmattic, /u/MaigoULTD, /u/idontcarefuckit, /u/tdm911, /u/compengineerbarbie, /u/BulldogBlitz, /u/greene27, /u/jpole1, /u/Zeepher, /u/aberdoo, /u/literallyalot, /u/lufkinmj4

  • If you mouse over the "Theme Threads" banner in the sidebar it will drop down a menu that will always have a link to the most recent Book Club post.

  • The link in the post has the book for free download. Books are strange for this because libraries are obviously free but if you can I think it would be nice to buy the book or at least think about buying it if you like it. It's $10 in either paperback or Kindle through Amazon.

    ***

    My suggestion would be to break the book up by the parts of the season instead of just numbers of chapters. Just by the chapter titles we could do:

  • Chapters 1-3 (p 11-64) - History, lottery, draft, trades

  • Ch 4-5 (p 65-102) - Preseason, Turkey, philosophy

  • Ch 6-9 (p 103-182) - Regular season

  • Ch 10-12 (p 183-214) - Eastern conference playoffs

  • Ch 13-Epilogue (p 215-236) - The Finals

    The lengths aren't really even (section 2 is 40 pages, section 3 is 80) but it's at least logical for the season. We don't necessarily need to have the same amount of time for each section.

    I think we should try to do the first reading before the season starts. What about discussing the first three chapters on the 20th or 21st? I'll be traveling that week and won't be able to participate but it gives everyone time to get started and there isn't exactly a ton of text on each page so I think once people start reading they'll clear through 50 pages pretty quickly. Is that enough time? Too much? I'm just throwing a date out there.

    Thanks for kicking us off. I've already loaded it up on my Kindle and hope people stay involved in this and participate as I think it could be a fun thing for the sub that could grow as we go along.

So for the book club, I'll make a post tomorrow but this is the book we will read. any suggestions for chapters read by a certain date?
