Thank you for the feedback. I realize it is important to introduce myself when sending out an invitation to join a book club like this, so I have added an FAQ section at https://spxy.github.io/bc/#faq where I introduce myself. I took the liberty to be elaborate there because I am not well known outside of a few very small communities.

By the way, I briefly talked about this yesterday at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26355752 where I mentioned how a small tech support channel evolved into a computer science and mathematics literature club. The parent story of that thread inspired me to make this post today.

To all supporters on HN, thank you for the bringing this post to the front page. I honestly did not expect this to come to the front page. At most, I expected a few people to notice it at /newest and join the book club. However, since I created this post, about 25 new members have joined which is great!




Thank you. The contents are far out of my depth but there is a general optimism that comes through while reading on your site and thinking of what your are bringing to the world. I hope that this trend of microcosms to find likewise intellectually interested individuals continues!

Recently I spoke to an about 80 year old scholar of Hegel and he still hosts book clubs for former students to his (and I presume his students ;) delight. Suppose that would be the way of the future. A club for any of your delights.


Wow! That is a lot of info. Thanks for taking the time!
