Sounds great. Maybe I can play catch-up and grab myself a copy of Lyn’s book then. Getting FOMO from all the discussion, even though I enjoy reading at my own pace.

You should totally grab the book -- I very consciously set an extraordinarily modest pace, partly for purely selfish reasons (I read very slowly) and partly to be maximally friendly for busy people.
This week (and going forward) I also tried to make it friendlier to people who haven't read the book, but care about the issues and want to discuss them. It's a fine line to walk, obviously, but I think there's enough context for people who haven't read the book to make sense of. So don't let it stop you if you haven't read it!

As a fellow slow reader, I appreciate the pace. I also really appreciate all the effort you put into the discussion prompts merely as a thinking-enjoyeerrr.
I wouldn't be immediately setting aside the time to read the book were it not for the book club. Also
- the book is much much better than I imagined
- the discussion makes the book far more alive for me than simply reading the text
