These rules pop up when you make your first post, but some people don't bother to read them and click it all away. Therefore, they bear repeating here for any curious newbies:
1. Be kind. Be courteous. And don't act like a know-it-all by hogging the mic and schooling everyone to your way of thinking. This is a DISCUSSION, not a debate with winners and losers. If you want that, visit the political threads.
2. Stay on topic by only discussing chapters designated for each week according to the schedule. Discussing matters we haven't reached yet comes under the dreaded category of SPOILER.
3. If you are an author with a published book, we welcome you as a READER and not as an author with a published book. Meaning? If you use the group to promote your own book or to suggest it be used as a reading book selection, OR if you use a surrogate for that purpose, we will consider it spam and consider you suspect (like John Wilkes Booth, and that's not a good thing for your membership here). Thanks for your cooperation, reader!
