re: Economics Book Club (EBC): Book 4 Starts Aug 21 (The Smartest Guys in the Room)

Everyone weigh in. This is all of our book club. I've never used Slack, but the only concern I have is that an external platform would end up being a low traffic dead man's land because it's inconvenient relative to TD where we all already spend a bunch of time anyway. If I need to be educated, help me out. If I can go to X to do A, B, and C (maybe check Poli board, check Money board and check Book Club thread) or I can go to Y to do only C, chances are I'd go to X(C) a lot more than I'd go to Y(C).

I agree about staying on TD. I already follow so many other forums and sites, I'm wary of adding more.
I plan on taking written notes as I read along, and using those for associated discussions. While it's fine by me to start the discussion any time, that may take away from having a really vigorous exchange. For example, if I'm discussing something in ch. 1 but another participant is already in ch. 5 and focusing on that, it may be awkward to go backwards and try to remember what your thoughts and ideas were 4 chapters before. Again, for me, written notes will help but still.....
We'll get this! We just have to get started and it will smooth out as we proceed. Too many smart people on here not to have that happen.

I mentioned Slack because several money talk posters continue to have robust discussions daily after about a month. It's easy to check. There's an app.
But I understand your reservations.

I'm fine with discussing it on here. Not like we have to worry about spoilers. Continuous discussion as we are reading should be fine.
