Two things:
1. We have the #sffbookclub and some others. Is there a #nonfictionbookclub?
2. Is there a Mastodon Goodreads group (yes, yes, booo, Amazon...) or a Telegram (again, yes, booo, I get it) or Wire or other messenger group that would make talking about books easier?
@Julia That last one was to part two. A non-fiction club sounds great, but also that's a huge category and would probably be hard to organize and pick books. Maybe smaller themes? Hmm.
@zephasaurus_hex @Julia Can someone fill me in on the problem with Telegram (I know nothing about it).
But regarding nonfiction, I read a variety.
1. I think a variety would be good because I think it would prevent us from getting stuck in book slumps. (I'm getting in one lately honestly).
1/?
@lapis @zephasaurus_hex
I don't actually know what's wrong with Telegram but ever since I joined Mastodon in November I get these tech bros popping up in my mentions to tell me how bad it is and that X is better.
I also think a variety is good and we might choose two per month, so people have a choice and may not sit out for a whole month.
4.: yes, very good idea! Like "previously on Double Daddies" 🤣
