Anyone up for a group reading of "An anarchist faq"? (anarchistfaq.org)

[Edit: We are 11 people interested so far!]

Anyone interested? It's very long in total (could be like 2k pages) and people probably dont read it linearly, but I figured it'd be cool to take up on it:)

So far, I'vs finished reading Section A and has been very informative. I've tried to keep notes of it in .md format here:

https://codeberg.org/BlastboomStrice/book-notes/src/branch/main/AFAQ-Summary.md

If this fails, maybe we could pick other smaller books, but me personally might not be able to participate (already reading afaq and another book).

I mean I think for AFAQ in particular it's fine if someone jumps in the middle. As a FAQ, it's written with the understanding that people will read it in pieces.

True

Hmm, what if we just do a weekly post about afaq and people can discuss their progress and thoughts without making the post specific to the section each member of the community reads (each user will just mention it in the comments).

It could be like afaq group reading week #1234

I mean this might be selfish but for me personally, it would be nice to have some amount of structure and "peer pressure" to get the reading done. Like "okay here's the part of the FAQ we're on today", and if someone else wants to talk about some other part that's cool too, but you know.. sometimes. it's nice to do things as a group 😃.
