inUnpopular opinion: I kept the book with the slow first chapter and the club actually had the better talk
Guilty as charged, my club did this on purpose once and half the group still brings it up like I committed a crime. Picking the harder read can backfire though, because you need a group that actually finishes it, and let me tell you, my track record on that is not great. I once pushed a dense one and three people showed up to the meeting having read maybe the first ten pages. The talk was still good, just not the talk I planned. Slow books do give you more to chew on, but only if people hang in there past the part where they want to throw it at the wall.

inCounted my scrap bin after forging 100 bottle openers and 23 of them ate it at the twist, what am I doing wrong
Man, I had the same thing happen with my first batch of fire pokers. Turns out I was twisting too cold, once I started doing it right at the forge with good orange heat my loss rate dropped way down.

inRant: I printed 1,000 wedding invites and only then noticed the apostrophe was a comma
Figured this was overkill for years and just trusted the copy paste, but after reading your post I get why people do it. Now I dump the text into a plain doc and run find and replace to hunt for commas where apostrophes should be, takes two minutes and saves a reprint. Sounds dumb until it saves you 380 bucks.
