Cue the downvotes here, but how do you not mean it in this way? Like the entire point of the post just seems to be "Hey, everyone in my book club is struggling with a book, but I'm doing just fine. Does this mean I'm smarter than them?" If not to brag, what's the point of posting this? Like what information were you looking to get?

Well, yeah, if you're gonna make a post bragging about something, trying to tell people "oh no, this isn't a brag" at the beginning isn't really gonna do much.
