Welcome!

BLUF: Diversity encouraged. Come meet new people, read good books (mostly sci-fi). Please read the book or be ready for spoilers. Make space, take space. :)

Meetup charges a fee for using it's platform to organize events (after a free trial period) - so I am asking for $3 from attendees, just to help* cover the annual costs. First event is free. I hope you will join us! (*this likely won't cover all costs).

-----------------------------------------

The long version:

1. RSVP. Let your host know if you’ll be able to make it to the meeting, and be sure to update your RSVP if your availability changes.
2. ARRIVE ON TIME. Don’t keep your club hanging!
3. READ THE BOOK! If you haven’t finished the book but decide to attend the meeting anyway, be prepared to hear spoilers.
4. COME PREPARED. Spend some time before the meeting thinking about the book.
5. SPEAK UP. Contribute to the discussion! Book clubs work best when everyone participates.
6. LISTEN TO OTHERS. Your fellow book club members want to hear your opinion — but they also want to hear everyone else’s. Don’t interrupt or dominate the discussion. This is particularly important for virtual book club discussions where it can be harder to tell if someone wants to add to the conversation. Take advantage of features like virtual hand raising to make sure everyone gets a turn to contribute.
7. BE HONEST. Most of us join book club because we want a richer reading experience through discussion. That only happens when we share what we really thought or felt about a book. And having different tastes in books is part of what makes book clubs fun. Polarizing books can be the best books to pick for book club! However:
8. BE RESPECTFUL. You can disagree with someone, but always do so respectfully. Ask questions. Avoid personal attacks
