If you want to talk about what you read like you have a voluntary english class, theyre great.

If you dont care for the book and dont know the people, they will probably be drab.

I run one with some old friends and we hard cap it at about 50-75 pages per week, and one hour per meeting (we do zoom so the time limit is less imposing on ones day) Plenty of time to discuss the book and shoot some shit.

Also they are always better with a little vino

50 pages a week? That's like... A book every 3 months on average.

Is that a normal pace?

We choose shorter books like Time Machine or Starship Troopers or like, Poe stories.

Its slow but everyone can keep up even with kids, work, etc.

Also doesnt disrupt side boarding books.
