I think it would be cool to post a title of something I'm interested in doing a dive into but make it more social and discussion-driven to be able to get the good stuff—kinda like a federated alternative to Blinklist and get everyone reading more with an actual compelling basis to stick to their commitment cuz they'll feel the community's wrath if they dont full-ass read their chapter and absorb it so they can help teach their piece

If not or if its not feasible, could I just do it here? Like

[BookClub] Thinking in Bets

Then everyone does whatever chapter they got assigned and post sequentialky when its their turn and everyone can discuss as it builds up to everyone having their chapter in

Edit: maybe there's a convention where the first comment is like a sticky or roll-call for anyone interested who child-comments that with the next chapter. So like I reply to the first comment which asks who wants to join and then I comment chapter 1, someone replies to mine with chapter 2, and the next person replies to chapter 2 with chapter 3 and so on until all the chapters are divvied up. Like my post forever ago testing out how many levels of nesting Lemmy could handle and it was like more than 100 levels of nesting

Edit: poster has to provide the number of chapters and why they want to read it so its established as a purposeful reading for them that has actual stakes like why they believe it will be beneficial to take the time to read the book and ultimately give it the full BookClub treatment
