Finished both books, really looking forward to the discussions! I think I will have to get a copy of The Underground Railroad after reading The Nickel Boys

Hey guis. I THINK this the proper spot for this post. I’m downsizing my book collection. If you see anything that catches your eye DM me and we can work something out.

Ok gang. Looking forward to the discussion this week! Nickel Boys.

I started on The Overstory, and am enjoying it.

Thanks for bumping this thread! Looking forward to the discussion too, although as I mentioned to @greebs it may involved some stunned silence. I know I’m still processing what I read. Will stick with me for some time

Didn’t realize the discussion was on Wednesday which is my golf league night. I started the book last night, but now don’t need to sprint to finish it as quickly.

Was hoping to finish by tomorrow but not looking likely with a 1/3 left. Lot of stuff has come up lately - work stuff, refinancing our house (rates are insane right now btw), family time etc. I do really enjoy the book and might just tune into the discussion tomorrow anyway.

I think the boat is sinking, because I’ll be bailing as well for tonight. Got sidetracked and didn’t get to finish. Looking forward to it, thanks for setting this all up and we’ll see if I make the next one!

@newballcoach @jlbeer8 @ericrbens we’ll miss you in the discussion, but definitely recommend you read the book still, and feel free to post any thoughts in here afterward. It was really good.

Looking forward to tonight as well! Should be a really interesting discussion, one of the best books i have read this year.

After suggesting it, I was pretty nervous that it might suck and everyone would be upset with me. Glad it turned out to be one most of us liked (I certainly did). Looking forward to the chat!

Sad to miss tonight’s Zoom but hot damn that’s one hell of a book. Bravo to whoever decided we should read it!
