Our club split over reading the book in 3 weeks vs 6, and the fast group fell apart
We tried a 3 week pace for a 600 page novel at my club in Boise last month and by week 2 only 4 of the 11 of us had finished, so half showed up to discuss chapters nobody had read yet. I switched us back to 6 weeks, added a halfway checkpoint chat, and our talk quality jumped right away. Has any club found a page count or time limit that actually keeps everyone on track without dragging it out?
