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.

Very fair points. I think some of it will naturally sort itself out. If you're the sole person in Ch. 3 and everyone else is discussing Ch. 1, chances are you'll tap the brakes a bit and/or keep notes to circle back with when everyone else gets to Ch. 3. The good thing about doing smaller increments is that people shouldn't get too far ahead. I know this first one sounds like a lot (80-90 pages per week), but it honestly seems like a pretty easy read. I think we'll blow through it.
I haven't reviewed it yet, but I imagine when we get to Applied Economics, we won't be doing 80-90 pages a week. I imagine it's a bit heavier than our first selection.
