Greetings, men, and thank you for your interest in the group. The reason I created it is because, when I'm reading, I'm not always sure I'm 'getting it'. By reading it and discussing it together with other men, I hope that we're all able to get more out of it than we would by reading on our own.
We're all busy with families, careers and/or obligations and finding time to sit down and read - even when we want to - can be difficult, but sure *any* man has the fortitude to carve out 5-10 minutes a day to read 5 pages. That's all I'm asking of you as part of this group. We will break books up into chunks of 35 pages and discuss each progressive section weekly.
I will create a new discussion board for each book (going forward we can vote on 'next reads'), and each week I (or an admin) will create a new post with that week's date and page range for discussion of that chunk.
This is just to get us started, nothing is set in stone. If you have suggestions, please voice them.
I thought we could go by chapters, but while some chapters can be extremely short, others could be excruciatingly long (which might be difficult to complete within a week). Then there are books with small, but numerous chapters, and if we're doing one a week, then we might only complete one book in a year. So I think by starting out with a focus on pages we could cover more content.
