Would anyone be interested in a non-fiction book club? I'm thinking about reading Atomic Habits by James Clear to attempt to quit a couple of bad habits. I've read it once before; though it's always better together. #AskNostr #Bookstr #CompanionsCorner

My biggest hurdle is that the only time I have to read normally is audiobooks on the road to and from work

Yeah I feel you on that! The cool thing about this book is that you can a lot from little bit. It's not that long of a book and it's very good. I listened to it back in 2018 when I walked to and from work; so I know it's possible.

Depending who shows up we'll either discuss the book together or read it as a group. That's how we typically read, is we read in the group.

Yeah I’d like to join the book club, but I don’t think my schedule will allow for it currently

🤔 would you be interested in hearing the recording of our discussion?

I might be if I can listen to it while driving

Sure, I'm looking to create positive habits like reading. So this would be a good start! My library just doest have it available until 2 weeks from now.

Excellent! In this thread let me know when you get a copy :D At the very least, we can have it async

Will do! 😊

The audiobook finally became available! I'm still waiting on the eBook. But its a start.

Excellent! Go ahead and read it if you're excited about it; I don't think you can spoil nonfiction; only make it more apart of your memory.

What time works for you for a nonfiction book club? It would be 15-30 minutes of summary and than the rest of the hour goes to open discussion. I think that's a good structure.

OK, how often did you want tohavee the book club? I think Wednesday or Sunday might be good days. Either early in the morning 8am/9am EST or in the evening 9pm/10pm EST.

Let's try once a week to start and see how we feel. Wednesday 8AM EDT wouldn't be the best for me so how about Sunday evenings?

Yea that would be a good time. But I don't think this will work out how I want it to. It looks like my audio book is already due in a few days and I'm only on chapter 2... The waiting list has like 19 people so I can't renew 😐 I can probably only meet tomorrow... And then wait till I get it again😓

😭 sorry to hear that mate. Well, that's okay. Another option is that we can go through the chapters together. That's how we do Tuesday evenings. We just read it outloud

Do you already have a book club Tuesday evenings?

That's right! #CompanionCorner on #Cornychat ever Tuesday evening. We read fiction though; and it's very loose hang out style. Very enjoyable

It’s in my TBR pile, so I’m interested.
